5、ally, with yourenergy, enthusiasm, and penetrating curiousity about how things work, are animportant part of our hope for the future survival of science and civilization -indeed the future flourishing of science and civilization. What does “understanding” mean? I think it means not only good observa

6、tionsand good quantitative modeling, but also viewing a problem from all possibleangles - words, pictures, mathematics, computer codes, metaphors. When I canget all these different viewpoints into agreement with each other, then I wouldsay I understand something - especially if it turns out to look

7、simple from oneor more viewpoints. And by then I can hope to have corrected most of themistakes.For more detail, websearch ”lucidity principles” then back to my home page at ”Encyclopedia”, ”staircase”, ”Rosenbluth”.Of course no-one should be afraid of making mistakes. They can be milestones on the

8、way to something interesting. I suspect that the ability to make mistakes isrelated to the ability to have new ideas. The great physicist John ArchibaldWheeler said that “genius is the ability to make all possible mistakes in theshortest possible time.” (Ordinary mortals like me take longer.)Here Il

9、l review some understanding about fluid motion that developed over thepast century. Bernhard Haurwitz was born in 1905, and published his famous book Dynamic Meteorology in 1941. I was born in 1941. So between us we spanabout a century of trying to understand the atmosphere and oceans. I want topick

10、 out what I see as some key advances in understanding - things that aresimple and well known today, though - to my continual surprise - not all ofthem clearly flagged up in the textbooks, even today. So its going to be simple- but also so important that I make no apology.Were dealing withFor more de
