Spinning fan..

Suppose you are lying on your bed face up and there is a fan directly above you. Suppose that your bed started spinning in the same direction as the fan. How would you perceive the movement of the fan blades as you spin faster and faster?

You can perceive the movement of the fan blades by stepping out of you bed.......#thinkoutsidethebox# If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

As the speed of the bed increases, the fan appears to slow down until it is stationary when both speeds are equal. When bed speed exceeds the fan's it will appear as though the fan is spinning backwards. That is the illusion of time and rotation/revolution of the earth versus sun I AM trust in GOD, I AM belief in THYSELF

How would you perceive the movement of the fan blades as you spin faster and faster? The fan would seem to slow down as your speed approaches that of the fan, then seem to stop when you match it's speed, as your speed begins to pass exceed that of the fan, the fan will seem to slowly turn in the opposite direction,but this will make you dizzy.

Now imagine that you have a spiral staircase in place of the fan.

But I can just imagine how confusing to your mind it might be to be looking at a fuzzy thing and then as you get to the right speed it appears clear and still and looks like you can walk up or down on it. Maybe everything we perceive and experience can change drastically by changing just one factor. So I wonder just how different the world would be if the rotation of the earth around its axis slowed down so that instead of having a 24 hour day we got a 48 hour day. What things would look different? Or if it slowed down on the speed around the sun so that instead of a 365 day year we had a 500 day year?

I think for one our biological clocks will be adjusted accordingly. Have a 24hour day and a 24 hour night. Illmatic

Every spot on earth's service will get twice the sun's heating then twice the lack of sunlight. daytime temperatures will soar, nighttime temperatures will plunge. Overall, I think weather patterns will be extreme Life is short. Live passionately.
