  1. Stunning! The only way I could stop the spinning sensation was to focus on the ground-level exit, which clearly disgorged moving people without knee-capping them. I am dizzy simply recalling the image. My brain cannot let go of it!

      Laurna – You’d think that knowing it’s an illusion would help us shut it down – but not so much!

    Laura:
    Thanks for the hint to stop it. Looking at the exit did stop the bottom layer for me, but out of the corner/top of my eye, the rest kept moving!

    Brilliant!! Good way to gaslight first-timers on seeing it. Moving? What do you mean?
