Persistence Of Vision is a Myth which only improves the moniker for my uses! 🙂
Wikipedia Persistence Of Vision
No one could have presented my moniker better than BLUE MAN GROUP in “Rods and Cones”:
“When you look at something, the rods and cones in your eyes fire in rapid succession, but between each firing, there is a brief resetting period, during which your eyes are unable to take in any new information.
Your brain covers up these micro-scopic moments of blindness with lingering after-images which help make your vision appear to be fluid and uinterrupted even though it is not.
This phenomenon known as persistence of vision is the unique physio-logical quirk that makes the illusion of animation possible.
The dark spaces between each still frame of animation literally sneak by while your eyes are not looking”
So, you exist in the void between visions… metaphorically. Must be a strange place.
