Caption: Two doughnut-shaped vortexes ejected by a pulsating black hole. Also shown at the center are two red and two blue vortex lines attached to the hole, which will be ejected as a third doughnut-shaped vortex in the next pulsation.

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.

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.

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

Tendex and vortex lines describe the gravitational forces caused by warped space-time The rapid expansion of the universe is more analogous to spandex lines:

Possibly these are simply signatures which are the result from a hole punched into or created in the fabric of space. Does this lead to or funnel from one universe to another? Hopefully, one day they’ll find out.

Maybe it wouldn’t warp so much if they wouldn’t leave it out in the sun all the time.
