 Aside from the fact that your example is a bit ambiguous as to what
 "our speed" might be, I take it at face value - as you say, and offer
 some speculation.
 I suppose my hand disappears momentarily.  Perhaps if I stay there two
 or three days, my fingernails will need trimming sooner than otherwise.
 
 Possibly - if I leave the room and come back a little later, I will
 get to see my hand floating in the middle of the field, since it
 was there before me.  
 
... For best results, place this line at bottom of message.
