I wanted to know what the world would look like if I spun at a constant velocity for an extended period of time if I could somehow manage to get my eyes to focus on the blur. Strangely enough I succeeded. I sat myself down in my swivel chair and pumped my legs for about 15 minutes till the world shifted away in to what looked like a cylindrial gradient of every conceivable color. I've tried since then, but never managed to get quite the same effect where truly nothing remains but what looks like a strange alien room, that you never knew existed all around, above, and below you.
