I don’t get it. They’re spinning in one direction and I don’t see them spinning in any other direction.

I could see it for a moment but then it would immediately shift back into the true spin direction

Strange I can almost make the dots stop rotating by thinking of them slowing down. Anyone else tried that?

Never changed direction, but boy did it make the warped vinyl more and more obvious.
romulusnr
December 14, 2021 at 5:26 am
this is because the speed of the dots is at a certain proportion to the frame rate of the camera

For me, I could watch the dots flowing in 1 direction or the other, and change their direction at will.

Ye sit changes directions for me – but that’s the same as we all have seen thousands of times with car wheels and airplane propellers

They flipped for a second, then I blinked. Straight back to spinning left and can’t get it back. There’s too much movement and wobble for me to really focus on it properly I think.
