if your eye had a shutter speed its not slow enough to capture that movement. the camera stays open for a few seconds to capture that image.

your eyes are a whole different beast. they are really good at some things but, get blown away by a camera with others. our brains are the ones processing the image and they are doing a lot of movie magic behind the scenes. colors take time to “recharge” before the get activated again. if a protein didn’t help it along it would take millions of years to fold on its own. even with the protein it might take some time so, the brain is like that was blue 1/2 a second ago its probably blue now too.
