@whyevernotso below had the excellent suggestion of listening to the Shepard tone auditory illusion while watching, so open this link in a new window, then come back and watch: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia...

[Update May 2012] phlipping made a version that increases in time and space smoothly! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP5-iI...
[Update Jan 2013] OkGoDoIt responded to phlipping's video with one of his own that loops! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6aP9S...

    Phlipping made a video response where the speed and size increase smoothly; OkGoDoIt took that and made it loop. I've added a link to it in the description.
