This behavior, known as one-dimensional pinning-free vortex flow, means the vortices can travel along a defined path without encountering the usual obstacles that restrict their movement.

When the vortices move, they can generate electrical resistance and affect the performance of the superconductor.

Hooke also did away with the vortices, introducing the idea of what we would now call ‘action at a distance’—gravity reaching out across empty space to tug on the Moon or the planets.
