Question
In the 8th grade I played full back for my football team. The play was a simple off tackle pitch with me as a lead blocker. I came around the corner, and went face-to-face with their middle linebacker, who I can best describe as a 6 foot fridge with legs. It was a beautiful hit, the coaches said they could hear the smack of the pads from over a 100 yards away. All I heard was the sound of my buddies trying to wake me up after the hit. When I opened my eyes, all I could see were stars.
My question is simply this, why is it whenever a person hits their head on something with enough force, that they see stars afterwards?
