    Force Stupid
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the phenomenon of dizziness experienced during circular motion compared to linear motion. It highlights that the semicircular canals in the inner ear are responsible for detecting rotational movements, which can lead to dizziness. In contrast, linear movements do not trigger the same response in the brain, as they are processed differently. The conversation emphasizes that the effects of circular force on the brain are rooted in biological mechanisms rather than purely physical principles.

probably a stupid question! on force.

when we spin round and round we feel dizzy,when we move in front we dont,now considering in both cases a force is acted on body,one force has an effect on your brain where as other does,so what is so special in this circular force that makes brain dizzy,where as linear force dosent.

Thanks for that answer,i didnt realize the source is biology rater than physics,thank you for clearing that doubt.
