life is a lab test

[gurdonark]

One lives life in a centrifuge. At first, the spinning seems slow and predictable. One views the passing scenery out the little windows, and can predict the coming of the next scene.
Soon one imagines that one knows what will happen next. Then the scenery starts to change, and the cycles pick up speed. Soon, nothing is quite so predictable, and everything is just the slightest bit dizzying. Then the spinning begins to happen so fast that it all becomes a blur, a rocketing to and fro, and then it stops.

..and, of course, the centrifugal force feels like a constant pressure, that gets higher and higher. Like wearing a diver's suit thats been over-inflated, and then some more.

Yes, exactly...you've extended the metaphor in an unexpected and very interesting way.
