Swirliology is the study of swirly things. There are many swirly things in the world, but they often go without their due recognition or even completely unobserved.

This pagelet is in its infancy right now, so be kind to it. But to show that it's more than just an exciting word, here is proof that Swirliology has the backing (and non-backing) of Famous People.

Here is a copy of the letter I sent last month. Adam Hart-Davis replied, declining to support Swirliology directly, but wishing the cause all the best. But then, earlier this week, Patrick Moore replied, proving that he is, without a doubt, the truly wonderful Patrick Moore.
