Join our stirring episode of the Hyperthesis as we discuss vortices, the atmosphere, and the legendary Edmund Halley. Liam starts us out with a fun paper that discusses the effect of swirling water in a bottle on its bounce height. Afterwards, Patrick guides us through some complexities of the atmosphere, discussing large scale phenomena from the Polar Vortex to the El Nino Southern Oscillation. Finally, Pheely discusses the life and times of Edmund Halley, for whom Halley's comet is named after.
