These attractions and repulsions are reciprocal— i.e. they act as if a spiral spring existed between the two bodies in presence of each other.Ces attractions et répulsions sont réciproques, c'est-à-dire qu'elles agissent comme si un ressort existait entre les deux corps en présence.Le Bon, Gustave / The evolution of forcesLe Bon, Gustave / L'évolution des forcesL'évolution des forcesLe Bon, Gustave© 1905, by Ernest Flammarion, ParisThe evolution of forcesLe Bon, Gustave© Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co., London, 1908
The young trapper dismounted, and turned his horse broadside to the bushes. Keeping on the outside, he commenced walking the animal in a spiral ring that gradually closed in upon the clump.Le jeune chasseur mit pied à terre, tourna son cheval le flanc vers le bois, et, se mettant du côté opposé, il fit marcher l'animal en suivant une spirale qui se rapprochait de plus en plus du fourré.Reid, Mayne / The Scalp HuntersReid, Mayne / Les chausseurs de cheveluresLes chausseurs de cheveluresReid, MayneThe Scalp HuntersReid, Mayne© 2008 BiblioBazaar

An ordered magnetic field more or less parallel to the spiral arms is seen in nearby spiral galaxies. This is clearly observed from the direction of polarization of the synchrotron radiation.Ce champ ordonné, plus ou moins parallèle aux bras, se retrouve dans les galaxies proches, ce qu'on voit clairement grâce à la direction de polarisation du rayonnement synchrotron.Lequeux, James / The Interstellar MediumLequeux, James / Le milieu interstellaireLe milieu interstellaireLequeux, James© 2002, EDP Sciences/CNRS EditionsThe Interstellar MediumLequeux, James© 2002, EDP Sciences/CNRS Editions, Paris, France© Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005

That was where the kite runners came in, those kids who chased the windblown kite drifting through the neighborhoods until it came spiraling down in a field, dropping in someone’s yard, on a tree, or a rooftop.Entraient alors en scène les coureurs: ces enfants s'élançaient à la poursuite du cerf-volant éliminé que le vent entraînait à la dérive jusqu'à ce qu'il tombe en vrille dans un champ, un jardin, sur un arbre ou un toit.Hosseini, Khaled / The Kite RunnerHosseini, Khaled / Les cerfs-volants de KaboulLes cerfs-volants de KaboulHosseini, KhaledThe Kite RunnerHosseini, Khaled© 2003 by Khaled Hosseini
