Recent experiments by Kuibin and Okulov on an open turbulent flow lend credence to the concept that turbulent flows and other irreversible evolutionary processes reside on a space of topological dimension greater than 3. Remarkably, at the 1997 SIMFLO conference in Copenhagen, a prediction was made that helical vortex defect lines would be indicators of a turbulent irreversible process. Remarkably the day the Russian experimenters presented evidence that seemed to corraborate the prediction.
