"Persistence of vision prevents us from seeing the dark space between the film frames by causing 'Flicker Fusion' when the frequency with which the projection light is broken approches 50 times per second; without this effect, our eyes would perceive the alternation of light and dark on the screen as each projected image succeeded the next, as, in fact, was the case in the earliest days of the movies, which became known colloquially as 'Flickers' or 'Flicks' for this very reason." -Muscles in the Movies, John D. Fair & David L. Chapman
