I have a container of Marbles, if I place a rod in the centre, and proceed to stir clockwise, the marbles do not form any collective pattern, they just collide and move away in all directions.
Now if I place the Marbles into a container of Water, and perform the above, there are moments when the marbles form a pattern such as this:http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/newsdesk/archive/releases/1999/25/
If I just remove the stirrer, I can still get the same pattern, or as good as, by rotating the whole bowl?
Is the Galaxy being 'stirred' or rotated by a far off effect?
