Your unwillingness to experience the real world has left you short of observing such a thing with your own eyes. Get out of your basement and go to the airport. This phenomenon is apparent to the naked eye under continuous lighting conditions. You might need to wait for a three or four blade prop, but it DOES happen in real life. Something your prove once again you know little or nothing about. |

Not when being observed directly. That only happens in movies and video due to the interaction between the imaging rate and the rotation rate of the propeller. Wrong again you clueless twit. No, he is right this time. No he isn't. Wellllllllll.............. The world is listening . . . Indeed. Still listening . . . Simple question, to get you started on your explanation; Have you ever been in a propeller-driven airplane? |

"Mxsmanic" wrote in message .. . This is completely incorrect. Human vision produces no such artifact. Anything moving beyond a certain speed is simply a blur; it never appears to move backwards. No, motion pictures PRODUCE the phenomenon. It's an artifact of the motion picture, not human vision. That is a function of shutter speed. No, the human visual system will not do it at all.

I'm sure I've seen wheels on cars that appear to be moving backwards. Are my eyes defective? |
