Hmmm. Your 'Thirring effect is only about 2E-6 radians per year but you think it causes hurricanes to rotate. Are you really serious? "In discussing this prediction for the theory, Einstein remarked that the magnitude of this effect (which amounts to about 2 x 10^-6 radians per year near the surface of the earth) "is so small that confirmation by laboratory experiments is not to be thought of."

Hmmm. Apparently you are a mind reader since I never made this claim at all.

Perhaps your mind-reading skills aren't as good as you think they are.
