> During that short period of time that your eye is travelling to observe the motion you are LITERALLY BLIND. There was a video I saw recently that exploited this, and it was WILD. I can't find it right now, but basically, they showed how blind you were while your eyes darted around. They had people look at a picture on a computer screen while some device monitored their eye movement. Whenever their eyes moved, an object in the picture would vanish or change. Nobody was ever able to detect an object vanishing or changing. It wasn't until they would be like "Wait a minute, wasn't there a person there?" or they were shown the original picture with all the objects in place that they would notice the picture was changing at all.

It's amazing we've got as far as we have, and it's amazing that many of these things are pretty recent discoveries in human history.
