I was tired on the train today. So instead of reading or fiddling around with my phone, I just sat and kind of blankly stared out the window. Not really looking at anything, just letting the scenery wipe across my retinas. When the train stopped at the stations, I noticed something curious. I had the very strong sensation that the train was still moving, but in the opposite direction. I tried to reason myself out of this by comparing stationary objects in the station with the stationary windowpane of the train and verifying that nothing was, in fact, moving. Regardless, I couldn't shake the feeling and it was entertainingly disorienting.
I know that some smarty-pants people read this blog... what is that phenomenon called? My google-fu is broken.
