A highly excited state of the cosmic medium might develop in the isotropic Big Bang starting with weak irrotational perturbations that were likely to be of entropy type. Supersonic matter currents are an indispensable feature of this state. Initial irrotational gas motions become vortical when they become supersonic. One can expect that this may provide a clue in galactic cosmogony (1970, Nature, 226, 440).
