  • i liked your videos way better when it was you who did the experiments, and explaines yourself, instead of some lame text on the screen. when the videos there more dangerous, you do not have to make every video age appropriate for kids over the age og two!! ;)

  • advice: use a rubber band instead of string

  • Making this simple because I'm "young." This works because the faster you spin the disk, the more it will look like1 picture. Your mind probably can't handle seeing the disks "properly" as 2 sides/pictures, so it decides to say as if it was one picture. What i mean is that one side of the disk replaces the other side of the disk so fast, your brain doesn't want to be too "complicated" Otherwise, you would get super busy. I hope that was detailed enough?

  • This is becuase when it spins so fast your mind makes it waas if it was one pciture

  • This was originally from "Inuits". These were toys that kids would usually play with.
