08 Oct 05 - 09:47 PM (#1579108) Subject: RE: BS: Ghastly From: Ebbie SRS, a week or two ago there was a documentary on PBS called 'Hidden Treaures' on Turkey. In passing, they mentioned that during that activity the whirling dervishes go into a trancelike state. It's not surprising, I suppose, given the dizziness they must be feeling. I have a question: Does anyone know if dizziness has an upper limit? In other words, does the brain reach that limit and no farther? Does it take the brain approximately the same amount of time to recuperate from 20 minute dizziness as from three-minute dizziness? I remember the fascination with dizziness that a kid feels - why do we get over it? Hmmmph. I realize that it sounds like I've been drinking. Think I'll go open a bottle of wine. :) |

09 Oct 05 - 06:53 AM (#1579253) Subject: RE: BS: Ghastly From: Bunnahabhain Does the Brain have an upper limit on dizzyness? Yes, several. I dance alot. Mainly stuff with lots of spins in. You get used to them, through training. We mainly spin clockwise, and it shows. I can't go fast enough clockwise to have to stop, but can anti-clockwise. Plus, the cause of dizzyness is quite simple. It happens when the fluid in the balance organs in the inner ear has built up too much momentum, and keeps moving when you stop. It can't build up too much speed, as the forces needed to do so would kill you. It, therefore, cannot take that long to stop moving, and allow you to recover. I think. BTW, I though the whirling dervishes were from the Sundan. |
