It's a whirlpool!

It has a big whirlpool and a strong current.

Old Doli's whirlpool broke again.

I was helpless amid the swirling maritime mass of industry.

I thought I told you to fix the whirlpool.

From darkness and dread nameless fear clutches at my heart!

Of all the spectacles mankind has viewed through a telescope, there are few lovelier than a spiral galaxy.

Most of them have super massive black holes in the centers.

(Laughter)

Rumors that Tom and Mary are dating have been swirling for weeks.

Almost every object in that picture there is a galaxy.

So for now, let's turn to the evidence for dark matter.

Well relaxed looking, symmetric round clusters tend to be dominated by elliptical galaxies.

And it's a kind of rope like structure that twirls and swirls like this.

Advanced technology toilets are also wonderful.

Now, Van Gogh doesn't know anything about physics, but I think it's very interesting that there was some work done to show that this eddy pattern in this painting followed a statistical model of turbulence, which brings up the whole interesting idea of maybe some of this mathematical patterns is in our own head.

Now, after I did the simulation,

But underneath, you're a seething mass of ugly, bitter resentment.

The milestone paper was by Alar and Juri Toomre, who did simulations of colliding disc galaxies using a lot of approximations, but with a great physical intuitions, and they already reproduced interesting Morphological features like tidal distortions, tidal tails and bridges and things like that.

Now let's turn to galaxies and clusters. One thing that will happen is a galaxy

And so this is not a fundamental distinction like.

It's strange... Laughter Q

Well, for the practical problem, in the midst of those rumours flying around I'm surprised they've been able to keep that club running.

I mean, maybe this next number is prime... (but my head is too fuzzy for now this right now so you tell me.)

And what starts happening is that, around young suns, young stars, all these elements combine, they swirl around, the energy of the star stirs them around, they form particles, they form snowflakes, they form little dust motes, they form rocks, they form asteroids, and eventually, they form planets and moons.

If you can see the complexity, you can see how tiny, little eddies and large eddies and the motion this is just sea surface temperature, but it's immensely complicated.

The swirling vortex of terror?

Like a brand in the waves, he was sizzling with love

Spiraling, spinning, and very, very fast splashes of color rush toward the screen. Written by Teemu Suutari 1998.

In this study, we investigated the long term fate of these waters in the Pacific Ocean using numerical model experiments.

Children of the Vortex

We're in the flux vortex.

Not this far into the vortex.

Some of them, like the one we live in, are beautiful, spiral shapes, spinning gracefully through space.

Generally speaking, velocity dispersions tend to be higher near the center of the galaxy but, by and large they remain nearly flat by analogy with flat rotation curves of spiral galaxies.

And it turns out the royal insignia has a rectangle within a rectangle within a rectangle, and the path through that palace is actually this spiral here.

What really excites me about these storms is their movement, the way they swirl and spin and undulate, with their lava lamp like mammatus clouds.

All of the evidence we have says that dark matter is there and it accounts for much of the stuff in those beautiful spiral galaxies that fill the heavens.

And here's a beautiful picture of the Andromeda Nebula, which is our closest, largest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way.

When the fear takes him and the blood and the screams and the horror of battle take hold do you think he would stand and fight?
