Turbulence, that’s what we’ve got. Things pressing against other things in irregular ways, and energy goes squirting around in complex, dynamic, ways as materials are displaced and look for another way of getting into equilibrium.
I was amazed by how quickly Congress was able to jack open the nation’s checkbook and write a ginormous rubber check with the “Pay To: _________” part left blank.
