Dizzy

[Orleander]

If I needed to make sure I never got dizzy from spinning around and around, would any surgery make sure that would be possible? Removal on my inner ear? Removal of a certain section of brain?

The dizziness happens because your inner ear fluid is still moving, but your body isn't. I think, anyway, anyone else reading, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

So I don't know how you would get around the dizziness thing...

 

[Orleander]

if you removed all the inner ear fluid and there was nothing to move....

 

[visceral_instinct]

wouldn't you just have no balance?

Just stay off of or out of things that spin. Your children must think you're a real trip with some of the stuff you come up with.

You'd be sitting down and not standing or walking ever again without that fluid.

My Mom has excellent balance (even though she is deaf due to cochlear deformities). She can do flip after flip on her trampoline. But a while back we all went to Mystery of the Cosmos and she fell and fell and fell.
It was all an optical illusion. Why would she get dizzy?

Maybe, but they are now 'outside of the box' thinkers. Its funny how that's frowned upon in grade school, but rewarded in real life.

Yes, rewarded with a parent like yourself!

ok then.

If you wanted to incapacitate someone, could you just remove their inner ear fluid? Would it be permanent? If you sat them in a chair and spun them around and around, would they get dizzy?

 

[cosmictraveler]

Why not just hit them with a hammer, that should incapacitate them pretty quickly.

 

[Orleander]

cos, are ya just posting to give me crap?

C'mon Cos, she was just curious.

 

[Orleander]

If the viscosity of the fluid in the ear was changed, would that stop the dizziness?

Probably, but I wouldn't recommend it as you wouldn't be able to balance properly
