But when another person's tail starts to wag it is visibly noticeable as a circular motion in there entire waist.
If that was anything like true, everybody would know it.
Why don't they?

And how do you know that this circular motion that you see in other people is indeed due to their tail wagging?

 Because I have watched this gesture in my own waist when my tail starts wagging while standing. I believe the motion travels through your entire skeleton which is how you feel it in your balance system as a dizzyness.

It must be because the Michelson Morley experiment was right after all... :)

Now you need to demonstrate that tail wagging is the only thing that could cause such a gesture. Otherwise, how do you know that they aren't simply moving their waist without any kind of tail wag to accompany it? It would also be nice if you could find a video of this circular motion you say that you perceive. I'm not convinced that it isn't all in your head.

Hmmm.

Who's wagged class recently, school, maybe work?

OK, so you accept that you don't have a real answer.
So, presumably you take on board my point that, if it was a real effect, everyone would know about it, but they don't, so it isn't.
Since you accept that it's not a real phenomenon, we can close the thread.

One thing I ve definitely noticed in the past ten months since watching my tail wag make me dizzy, is if a ghost is in disagreement with me, he will sometimes wag his tail to show positive feeling over something that is defeating me. I will wag my tail along with him sometimes because I don't think he realizes what the gesture implies and I try to talk him down in the arguement.

I think the help you need is psychological, rather than scientific.

Then you are either delusional or trolling.

imagining you are holding a baseball bat over your shoulder and rotating it like you're about to swing causes your tail to wag, as far as I can tell it always does a least a little.

In exploring if 'ghosts' can create a dizzyness in my ears, I've come to realize that when something starts to wobble, whether its my tail, my balance system, my knees, it can combine with my vision, even in the dark with my eyes closed, and cause specific spots in my vision to appear to be wobbling. I have noticed several times that this wobbling in the vision can occur on its own after I stop wagging my tail or whatever I'm doing to cause it. Although I can cause something similar voluntarily by moving my brow or squinting in and out slightly, I cannot stop the involuntary wobbling in the eyes by adjusting facial muscles it would seem. I don't think it's my focus adjusting in and out either. So I can't control this gesture entirely because I don't know it where it comes from. But I'm seriously doubtful its from a ghost anymore.

That emotions enter the body through the tailbone, and cause a physical reaction in your other systems is my theory. The tailbone seems to mean agreement when it wags along and disagreement when it wags opposed. The disagreemnt agreement aspect is stifled when you don't have a choice in the matter. Something like over attraction to a female that isn't met with you, or the general public's response to who you are as person. This stifling effect can lead to chronic depression. Letting your tail at ease and breathing slowly will relax, while eating can help with anxiety and depression.

It's not a theory.

"A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can be repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results. Where possible, theories are tested under controlled conditions in an experiment."
From
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_theory

You have what's usually referred to as a wild ass guess or "WAG".

Emotions start in the brain.

Yes but I'm saying that those emotions effect you physically starting at your tailbone. Once they enter they can cause headaches, stomach anxiety, depression in the face. etc.

And you are saying ti with no evidence and in the face of others giving their well informed opinion that you are wrong.

I'm sorry I should have said that the tail spins causing a gravity wave. Then you would have had more to say then your trite responses of how wrong everyone else is. perhaps I will right a poem about it.

You can cause different physical pains resembling anxiety intentionally by wobbling the knee slightly and simultaneously moving your tailbone. Changing speeds, using pauses, and changing direction of the wobble in your knee observe how anxiety symptoms flare up in your ears, stomach, head, and coccyx.
