Abstract
It is shown that the phase not only has a "phase dynamics" such as that in He II, but also an orbital dynamics somewhat similar to that of - or a nematic liquid cyrstal. The rederived -phase hydrodynamic theory, complete with nonlinear terms, establishes the equivalence between rotations in orbital and spin spaces and shows the intriguing possibilities of generating a magnetization by mechanical rotations and of substituting the magnetic field with oscillating parallel plates in "NMR" experiments.
