How to make a vortex

Place a clock on a shelf for a least two weeks

Look at the clock and trust that it knows time

Allow life to continue, forget about the clock but continue to glance its way: make sandwiches, fill glasses with water, scatter and gather toys

One night, remove the clock

You will find yourself turning your head and searching for the time
The clock wants to get back up on the shelf but is locked in the closet
Now the missing clock wants your gaze

  1. f the physics are anything like blowing toroidal bubbles, then the secret will be to start off in as calm and non-turbulent water as possible. My best bubble rings are always when I'm the only one in the pool, and I've let the turbulence from submerging die down.
