A Vortex of Spacetime

[Intro]
Cosmos dragon
(Frame dragging)
A vortex of spacetime
(A spinning black hole)

[Verse 1]
If you come ’round
(You’ll turn around)
My axis acts
(Rotational facts)

[Chorus]
Cosmos dragon
(Frame dragging)
A vortex of spacetime (time)
A spinning black hole
(Swallows you whole)

[Bridge]
To rotate
(Is your fate)
I’ll spin you round
(Till never’s found)

[Verse 2]
Now you’ve come ’round
(I see you’ve found)
My axis spin wins
(We’re zombie twins)

[Chorus]
Cosmos dragon
(Frame dragging)
A vortex of spacetime (time)
A spinning black hole
(Swallows you whole)

[Bridge]
To rotate
(Is your fate)
I’ll spin you round
(Till never’s found)

[Chorus]
Cosmos dragon
(Frame dragging)
A vortex of spacetime (time)
A spinning black hole
(Swallows you whole)

[Outro[
Zombie twin
(Spin, spin, spin)

A SCIENCE NOTE
A rotational vortex refers to a system in which matter or energy rotates around a central axis, and several phenomena can exhibit this behavior:

Planets and Stars:
- A planet like Earth spins on its axis, creating a rotational vortex in its atmosphere due to the Coriolis effect, which influences weather systems and ocean currents.
- Stars and planets form rotational vortices during their creation, as clouds of gas and dust collapse and spin due to conservation of angular momentum.
Black Holes:
- A spinning black hole (Kerr black hole) creates a vortex of spacetime around it, called frame dragging, where nearby matter and energy are forced to rotate.
Fluids and Gases:
- In tornadoes and hurricanes, air spins around a low-pressure axis, creating a vortex.
- Water spiraling down a drain forms a rotational vortex due to angular momentum.
Galaxies:
- Spiral galaxies rotate around a central axis, forming a vast rotational vortex of stars, gas, and dust.
Subatomic Particles:
- In quantum mechanics, particles like electrons can have a property called spin, which is an intrinsic form of angular momentum.
