    I think it is similar to the speed of a wheel (or merry-go-round, or anything circular). All points on a certain radius make a full rotation at the same time. Therefore, the points nearer the outside of the circle, must move at a faster rate than those near the center of the circle in order to go all the way around at the same time. I hope that makes sense.

    this. Not knowing of an origin point makes it seem faster relative to your fist.

    The distance between the edge of your fist is relatively shorter than it was BEFORE you put your fist in there (that's what SHE said), so you're no longer seeing the entire distance's speed, only the shorter speed. You're tracking particles with your eyes in LESS time, which "seems" faster. :eek:

    Try staring at these 2 individual photos for 20 to 30 secs and than look away and blink really quickly at a white wall.

    It is always moving that fast. The difference is when your hand isn't in the way it's (your brain) trying to process everything it is seeing...and since there's just way too many moving way too quickly it kind of ignores a bit of it. Once your hand is there since you're seeing quite a bit less of them you start seeing just how quickly they're moving.

    Too bad not everyone have photoshop or the programs to do that. My mind force is good enough for this.

    maybe since they're all coming from the center, there's more dots at the edge since it takes up more actual space than your perspective is observing?

    Or a wizard did it.

    They are actually not all coming from the center. That's part of the optical illusion.

    it uses your webcam to see when you have a fist covering the picture and adjusts the speed accordingly

    Congratulations, gentlemen. You've been staring at footage of the new FPS, Ejaculate, cumming out in December.

    So if you are fisting at the same time does it speed up?

    :p;)

    Sorry couldn't resist.
