Default Almost everyone saw the physical proof that time passes in jumps - only that the majority ignored it (JP)

I appears that you never saw the effect that I am describing here!
Where are you living - at the very top of ivory tower? (Do not seems
so - judging by the level of your contribution to this discussion!)
Well, the effect of visual changing the direction of rotation is well
known to everyone who ever had opportunity to watch an accelerating
spin of any object that makes flicker some parts of itself. I am
shocked that visibly no-many people seem to be able to recall it. So I
propose to make an experiemnt - and see it with your own eyes.
Anything that spins, that have some spokes or propellers, and that
accelerates gradually from zero to around 1800 rev/min (so that spokes
change their flickering from zero to around 30 Hz) will create this
effect. It is worth to see it, as it is a window to a "paradigm shift"
and opens our eyes on completely different prospects regarding the
nature of time and the possibility of time travel.


What you are seeing is a frame per second illusion.
The direction of rotation never changes.
A good strobe light can make just about anything that is
rotating "seem" to spin backwards.
