Haven't you ever noticed this, how a decelerating high speed rotating part can appear to slow, pause and appear stationary and then appear to reverse direction, and then continue its deceleration?
Is it something to do with the frequency of light and the rpm of the object?
Why when you blink and stare at the rotating object can your eye take a stationary snapshot of the object?
All answers or theorys are appreciated, if only so that i stop standing at the roadside blinking at the traffic and scratching my head. Carl.
