Whoever clicked the "discuss" button: if you aren't going to offer some sort of defense of the page, (or second the cutting of it) clicking that button doesn't accomplish anything.

This page makes no sense. Cut it.

I clicked it because your reason for cutting it isn't a good one. If after a month of Wiki Magic they're the only two examples, then sure, cut it. But give it more than 24 hours, or at the very least throw it to YKTTW.

This trope sounds like a repeat of Hyperspace Is a Scary Place.

And the Trope Namer isn't actually an example of the trope as it's described. That's always a good sign.

When I did this, I wasn't specifically thinking of space, although it came off as that. I was thinking of a little old lady stepping out of a car ride with Jason Statham, and her being completly rattled, unable to stand. (A funny idea, just imagine Miss Daisy with Statham in the driver's seat instead of Freeman) That stupid Voyager episode was the only SPECIFIC example I could think of, and I was hoping that other people would pick up that the speed is realitive, its any speed that will drive someone crazy or other kind of deformity, be it 300kph or 3000000000kph. I hoped the Wiki Magic would help it, but if it ends up being something that has been done, by all means, cut it.

That's precisely what YKTTW is for. Next time try there first before just making a new trope page.

I've taken the content to YKTTW. The name is fine, the main content seems ok as a starting place so we'll see how it does and leave the page for the moment. If it works for it then yay, we have a page.

Here's a link. Lennon Lore can freely edit the main text.

Yep, that entry is doing well enough to take this one out of the danger zone.
