Stephen Kellert

In his book "In the Wake of Chaos" he notes that chaos has mostly been ignored as acedemic intellectuals have been mostly uninterested in physical systems which were not readily amenable to analysis and manipulation. He gives this example: "Turbulence remains an unsolved problem for classical physics. There is still no adequate theoretical account of the whorls and eddies that appear in waterfalls, whirlpools, and wakes."
