Flywheels are historical devices where weaights was put on strings around a spinning cylinder, adding momentum. Metaphorically, it points at a feedback loop that “gets going”, ie producing excess output, in a way accumulating some kind of capital.
When talking in terms of science, you could say that the invention of a new frame of reference unlocks a fair bit of arbitrage/early adopter dynamics. So the frame of references that keeps popping up serve as our swirling rocks, adding inertia to the axis of progress
