I am lost !!

Hi

here is a question racking my brains

 

 

1) why do we tend to walk in circles when we are lost ?

 

is it because the body is assymetrical ??? :evil::confused::confused:

 

if is it so which direction do we go in circles ?

clockwise or anticlockwise ?

 

thanks

I am unaware that 'we' do go in circles when we are lost.

If I am lost, I typically follow a landmark if I know that will lead me to a road or something I am looking for.

Perhaps an intentional widening circle would work as a search pattern??

Actually, it's more sensible if you try to walk in a straight line with your eyes closed in a vast open space. The path is almost always curved, and if the space is large enough, it ends as a circle.

 

I does happen because the body is unsymmetrical, although I know nothing more about it.

 

However, to find wether it works clockwise or anti-, I suggest you try first-hand experimentation, TBA.
