>From a Review (http://www.denofgeek.com/television/440217/wonders_of_the_solar_system_order_out_of_chaos_review.html) of his book, I see he speaks to Nick's Vortices (Doug's Swirlies?): " Professor Cox explains this in consistently entertaining fashion, and his repeated references back to the apparently mundane things in our immediate environment - the spinning vortex of water escaping from a bathroom sink, or the constant procession of seasons - and tying these in to the celestial events that occur in our solar system, is what keeps the science bits fresh and engaging.
