Even though the guy gave a pretty thorough description I still don`t understand how the fuck it works.

""" The window is mounted on a rod connected to an electric motor that rotates it about its vertical axis. When it is observed with one eye from about 3 meters or with both eyes at 6 meters, or more, the window appears to rotate through 180 degrees and then seems to stop momentarily and reverse its direction of rotation. It is therefore not perceived veridically to be rotating continuously in one direction but instead is misperceived to be oscillating, reversing its direction once every 180 degrees. """

At the right speed some car wheels can look like they`re going backwards!! Thats more trippy.

Why do the clocks ticking in the room slow down when the window reverses direction? Maybe the window is slowing down my perception of time.
How do they get the stick to pass through the window without breaking the glass? Pass the glass through the stick?
ok, last question. How is getting a buzz from seeing an optical illusion different from taking lsd? Maybe the intensity.
