Why do we get car sickness?

 Why do we get car sickness?

  We all love to travel. But what makes it a disgust is the car sickness or travel sickness that many of us have.

  According to a prevailing theory, car sickness occurs because of mismatched or conflicting sensory signals.

  In a moving car, our eyes see that the car seats are not moving, thus informing our brain that we are stationary. However, the inner ear which detects motion, notices the turns and bumps in the road and tells our brain that we are moving, thus creating a sensory mismatch and making us carsick.

  During human evolution when there were no vehicles, only the intake of foods containing neurotoxins made our brain receive conflicting signals. Now, the only way to remove these neurotoxins was to vomit. Hence, in the present time, when our brain receives such mismatched signals, it thinks that there is some neurotoxin in our stomach. Thus, it induces vomiting.

  So we feel dizzy and vomit. Thus we get carsick.

Posts before October 2021 have been marked as "Old Posts". Less likely, but they might have out dated or incorrect information, ugly looking bits of code, no labels, etc. Don't get me wrong, many of these posts are top-notch and interesting too.

I thought it would be better not to delete or revamp these posts, even if they suck. The bitter truth is that old works always suck, but I take that as a positive tool to convey that I am growing. Besides there's no better way to showcase my journey without these old, messy, poorly written posts!
