That is a technical question:
Take a spinning wheel, f.ex. the human eye can only capture 25 images a second, max. As long as the wheel spin less than 25 rotations per second, you can see a forward move of the wheel. As soon as the speed of the wheel exceed 25 rotations ( 25Hz), in that case, the human eye cannot follow anymore and you get the illusion, the wheel is spinning backward.
The same is for Helipcoter Blades, or movie on a screen in a movie, where here, the Frequency on the Screen in the movie is also relevant.
Note: When the speed of the wheel is exactly 25Hz, means 25 rotations per second, then you have the feeling, the wheel is not moving at all, because the 'shutter' of your eye has also 25 frames a second.
In Nature, you have animals, or Insects, which have more frames per seconds. A simple fly can beat us easily. They have more than 200 frames a second, thats why, a human's move look for a fly like a slow motion. Thats why they can escape us so easily.
