While you are conscious of the motion, the average velocity of those points is essentially near zero - subtract the velocity of one star from a star moving in the opposite direction, for instance. Finally, the starting velocity of each star is low (zero?) at this point. What you get is an impression of 'expansion', rather than 'speed'. When staring at an area off-centre, the stars in that part of the field are generally moving in the same direction. Now, the average velocity of those stars is definitely a substantial positive number, and the application of acceleration means that any individual star is moving faster in relation to its starting velocity anyway, further enhancing the percieved velocity for the simple fact that their relative velocities increasingly diverge towards the outer edges of the field. Going further; moving the eye to a point off-screen gives you a clear view only of the nearest stars, all approaching their terminal velocity as they near the edge of the field. All the stars you are immediately conscious-of are travelling fast, and the general impression is of one (lower density) moving field. Perhaps I'm not explaining this adequately, but it works for me. :D ____ [small][i][b][url=http://www.vectorpark.com/]ZZZ[/url][small][url=http://www.i-am-bored.com]ZZZ[/url][small][url=http://nlp.fi.muni.cz/~xsvobod4/amanita/samorost/intro.html]ZZZ[/url][small][url=http://uploads.ungrounded.net/59000/59593_alien_booya.swf]ZZZ[/url][small][url=http://members.aol.com/gulfhigh2/words.html]ZZZ[/url][small][url=http://www.kiteretsu.jp/on/grow3/]ZZZ[/url][url=http://www.math.ruu.nl/people/beukers/dawkins/dawkins.html]zzz[/url][url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/23036].....[/url][/small][/small][/small][/small][/small][/b][/i][/small] Loading...
