An Interesting Property of Rotational Kinematics |
|
| To fly between two locations a variety of
routes are possible.
Route A is shorter than B. These "flights" can also be considered as rotations. Rotation A' (~90 deg) is shorter than B' (~180 deg). In the same way, the eye can rotate between two points in a variety of ways. Some are better than others. |
