The hypothesis of molecular vortices is defined to be that which assumes - that each atom of matter consists of a nucleus or central point enveloped by an elastic atmosphere, which is retained in its position by attractive forces, and that the elasticity due to heat arises from the centrifugal force of those atmospheres revolving or oscillating about their nuclei…

“Darwin found that all plants move in a recurring spiral oscillation, which he termed "circumnutation" (Latin for "circle" or "sway"). This spiral pattern varies between species and can range from a repeating circle to an ellipse to a trajectory of interlocking shapes much like the images from a…” quote by Daniel Chamovitz
