there is a condition that when you close your eyes the eyeball still moves and i think i have that, messes with balance when your eyes are closed...
anyways. its prolly cause the earth is round, or spinning,

We do know why, it's because people have a dominant leg. Just like dominant eye and arm, the stronger leg makes you walk in a circle when you don't have a point of reference.

I know that some people like to have voluntary periods of abstinence.
Yeah, I use that excuse too.

I don't get it, there's nothing stopping anyone from moving your eyes around when you close them. In fact your eyes move even when you sleep, REM sleep they call it. (WOW! Television can teach you anything! )

Considering nothing in real life is perfectly symmetrical I imagine most things wouldn't travel in a straight line without a point of reference.

lol, no. Read the article next time. The talked about driving and sailing as well where a 'dominant leg' effect would be nullified.

The only way to move in a line is to keep PRECISE forward movement, without the littlest deviation to either side. Well, since nobody is PERFECTLY accurate (and since last I checked humans can't tell which way they're facing without a compass), it stands to reason that almost everybody has the slightest tendency to over or underestimate just how "straight" they're going in some direction, either left or right... even if only ever so slightly. And... you know what happens if you're constantly leaning left (or right), no matter how slightly ? Ayup, you go in a circle. The more accurate you are, the larger the circle gets, but it's always a circle. Mystery solved !

Hmm, another article with far, FAR more experimental data presented: http://scienceblogs.com/notrocketscience/2009/08/do_lost_people_really_go_round_in_circles.php Interesting and maybe even enlightening, but not too surprising. _

But if the space is curved, and you lean to that side, are you really turning?

My guess is that it's pathfinding related. If you don't know where you are or where you are going, it's more likely that you'll be able to recognize stuff and not go too far in the wrong direction if you keep seeing the same things over and over for a while.

In Euclidean, i.e. non-curved, space least-time path between two points is a straight line. Similarly a straight line, by the definition above, in curved space when represented in flat space is actually something completely else. So are we actually intuitively perceiving the curvature of spacetime?!
(I am joking, of course, but makes you think nevertheless)
