Crunch down on a large hard pretzel while watching a television screen from a distance. As you crush the pretzel in your mouth, your skull vibrates, briefly oscillating your eyes. If you stand about 20 meters from the tube-type of television or computer monitor, with the screen fully lit up with an image rather than just being blank, you can see brief distortions and black lines across the screen. I cannot see this effect on flat screens but I am not yet convinced that I tried enough pretzels. Let me know what you see if you try this.

  1. Please answer my question:

    Imagine yourself sitting on a sofa. You are at rest. The earth is rotating on its own axis with a velocity of about 300 m/s. The Earth is revolving around the sun with a velocity of 30 Km/s. The sun is revolving around the centre of milky way galaxy with a velocity of 250km/s. The Milky way galaxy is moving with a speed of about 1000km/s to a place 150 million light years away from here called the "great attractor". What is "your" absolute velocity?
