THE case of a vortex ring appears to have a special bearing on the question of rotation in relation to the relativity theory. An observer regarding such a ring can establish definitely that the ring is rotating with respect to himself, but not he with respect to the ring, as in the latter case he would see the ring pass round him, himself passing through the ring (together with the rest of the universe) at each revolution. These two cases are not equivalent, and it is suggested that this affords proof that rotation is not relative, but absolute.
