We claim that such an effect is related to the super--Poynting vector, in a similar way as the existence of the electromagnetic Poynting vector is related to the vorticity in stationary electrovacum spacetimes.9 pages; to appear in Classical and Quantum GravityGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyWhy does gravitational radiation produce vorticity?text
