This slow motion liquid mirror vortex is like staring into another dimension

No need to overthink it: Sometimes you just want to stare at slow motion footage of a strange, swirly concoction in a blender, and that's OK.

The swirly concoction in question is the element gallium, which The Slow Mo Guys filmed in all its twisty-turny glory for their latest video.

It's not one to try at home, but it's certainly one to stick on for 15 minutes and watch, trance-like, from behind the safety of your screen.
