I think Will knows this as well.

A lot of this stuff is actually tough material.

I mean, for instance, the question of what determines the temperature difference between the tropics and the pole, that's actually handled in a third-year graduate course.

It deals with hydrodynamic instability, which is a complicated subject.

And it's a real problem in a field.

It's true throughout science where you're trusting people to behave, I think, decently.

But the material itself is not going to be entirely accessible to everyone.

And how you deal with it, how you approximate it, the same is true with nuclear power, with other things.

These are technical issues.

They're not trivial.

And you're asking in a democratic society for people to make decisions.

It's a tough issue.

It involves a certain amount of trust, and what we're describing is a situation where the trust is being violated.

But you notice how quickly she changed.

It's not just digest.

I mean, it's how many people can solve partial differential equations?

I mean, this is one of the complaints I have, which is sort of odd.

People blame this on models.

And what the models are doing is they're taking the equations of fluid mechanics, something called the Navier-Stokes equation, and they're doing it by dividing it into discrete intervals and seeing how things change with distance and time and so on.

And one of the things that we know is no one has ever proven that this actually leads to dissolution.
