In the classical sense, a vortex is
anything that swirls around. A hurricane, a tornado, the Solar
System, or spiral galaxies are vortex forms. Even such mundane
things as water going down a bathtub drain are vortexes, or as some
prefer, vortices. In the sense of this exhibit, and a very few other
such attractions open to the public, a vortex is a whirlpool of
energy. It is a mathematically exact position on the Earth’s
surface that does not conform to contemporary scientific description,
a place where gravity is subtly altered, time runs a little behind
the rest of the world, and seemingly impossible distortions occur in
physical space/time reality. These vortexes normally cannot be
optically perceived, but the effects can be seen, and sometimes felt.
How many vortexes are there?
The Universe itself is the largest
vortex, and it is made up of an infinity of progressively smaller
vortexes, so the answer is that there are an infinite number of
vortexes. Of the Grave Creek type of Vortex, which is around 60 feet
in diameter, to the Gold Hill Vortex, 165 feet, there are probably
hundreds in existence, but only a small number have been discovered.
Can I be harmed by the vortex?
There have been reports of slight
dizziness or minor nausea, but the great majority of visitors feel
nothing out of the ordinary. No one has ever complained of long-term
harm, but conversely some people have claimed minor aliments cured in
a “magic spot”. The only danger linked to exposure of a vortex
of this type is that it has been known to cause reevaluations of
worldviews. Remember, vortexes, however odd or bizarre, are natural
phenomena.
