This Press Release Spun Me Right Round, Baby, Right Round

Caltech has just published a new press release in connection with a new paper in Physical Review Letters about visualizing vortices warped in space and time.

The press release includes the following line: “Anything that falls into a vortex gets spun around and around,” says Dr. Robert Owen of Cornell University, the lead author of the paper.

You know what would be infinitely cooler, though? If the quote instead read as follows: “Anything that falls into a vortex gets spun around and around like a record, baby,” says Dr. Robert Owen of Cornell University, the lead author of the paper.
