At one of these science playgrounds, I once saw a little glass bucket in which water could spin, containing little silver slivers. When the water spins, it lifts up all slivers. When the water is left all to itself (taking about three minutes or so to come to a stop), all slivers ended up exactly in the middle on the bottom of the bucket.
Explanation: the location without movement is in the middle. As long as the spin is strong enough, all slivers are picked up and moved along. But as soon as the motion falls below a certain threshold, the center of non-movement becomes wide enough for slivers to fall to the bottom. The non-moving center does not do anything special to attract the slivers; the irratic movement of the spin automatically moves slivers in all directions, so to the middle as well. Once they are moved towards the middle, there is no escape. All slivers end up in the middle of the bucket — before the water has stopped spinning completely.
I once read that Albert Einstein was fascinated by this effect, too. According to me, it shows how our materialized universe may be formed more by matter of accumulation than by matter of attraction. Our universe may be ruled by spin and lack of spin.
