By combining theory with computer simulations, Thorne and his colleagues at Caltech, Cornell University, and the National Institute for Theoretical Physics in South Africa have developed conceptual tools they've dubbed tendex lines and vortex lines.
I think we've seen this before.

I discovered that first one with a Spirograph in 1970.
Where’s my Nobel prize in Physics?
They can keep their Nobel Peace Prizes. I’m sure the Anti-Christ will be the next recipient.

New? Bah!
I drew those up with my Spirograph set back in the 70’s.

I see the weed and funding at Cal Tech have been increased lately.

kinds of waves that the Caltech-led Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) seeks to detect. Actually they don't seek to detect anything. All they seek is continued taxpayer funding.

A Spirograph and the the right drugs can solve any problem in the universe.

That last one looks like the fettuccine dinner I made over the weekend (except for the colors).

Holy Spiro Gyro.
Looks like something a third grader would draw. I would expect a little better from the brainiacs.
