A stream - turbulence

Like the little stream
Making its way
Through the mossy crevices
I, too, quietly
Turn clear and transparent.

Turbulence was a problem with pedigree. The great physicist all thought about it, formally or informally. A smooth flow breaks up into whorls and eddies. Wild patterns disrupt the boundary between fluid and solid. Energy drains rapidly from large-scale motions to small. Why> The best ideas came from mathematicians; for most physicists, turbulence was too dangerous to waste time on. It seemed almost unknowable. There was a story about the quantum theorist Werner Heisenberg, on his death-bed, declaring that he will have two questions for God: Why relativity, and why turbulence. Heisnberg says, “I really think He may have an answer to the first question.” ` Page 121
