      Next time you get dizzy and fall on your butt, blame it on your ears!
     Our sense of balance seems to depend on them and on a substance called endolymph, which lies inside our ears' cannals. When we spin, the endolymph accompanies the movement but, when we stop, it doesn't stop immediately. This causes a stimuli that generates the impression that we are still spinning, so we get dizzy for a while and, after a few moments, the endolymph gets back to normal and the dizziness goes away.
