Last Friday I shared my family's experience visiting Science Central in Fort Wayne, Indiana. A great museum that was a ton of fun! I mentioned in Friday's post that on the lower floor of the museum is an exhibit of a house/room tipped at an angle. My kids ran right in and started walking up the angled floor and running down the angled floor and basically jumping all over the place. I decided to run in and join them. Unfortunately I did not take any pictures, but picture the room you are in now and tip the whole thing to one side by 30 degrees. This should give you a good visual of this exhibit.
What happened when I ran in? Nothing for 30 seconds. I didn't trip and fall. I started angling my body forward and walking up the floor. At about t = 31 seconds I suddenly became nauseous. Yikes! It was a blast of nausea that just came upon me. I stepped out of the room, and good thing I did because a few more seconds and I really think I would have thrown up! This room severely effected my inner balance! These effects hung with me for several hours. After a few minutes I was no longer nauseous, but I was a bit light headed several hours later.
What does this all mean? Well, I think it boils down to one thing. I'm getting old. :-)
