Why Can't You See a Clock's Hour Hand Move?

In today's episode, we talk about why you can watch the hour hand for a long time and still never catch it moving, even though it is always on the move. We explore how slowly the hour hand turns, how gears inside a clock control the speed of each hand, and why your eyes are much better at noticing quick changes than tiny, steady motion.
