Was doing this thought experiment on the mrt:
You have a sphere, with a dot on it facing you. The sphere is spun around three axes perpendicular to each other at the same time, around a vertical axis, a horizontal axis and another axis that goes straight though the dot and the center of the sphere. They are spun at the same constant speed (angular velocity).
So now you have this sphere spinning all around. So.... how will the dot move? As in describe its motion relative to you. (Sphere does not move except for the spinning)
