What does “understanding” mean? I think it means not only good observations and good quantitative modeling, but also viewing a problem from all possible angles -- words, pictures, mathematics, computer codes, metaphors. When I can get all these different viewpoints into agreement with each other, then I would say I understand something -- especially if it turns out to look simple from one or more viewpoints. And by then I can hope to have corrected most of the mistakes.
Here I'll review some understanding about fluid motion thFra Baidu bibliotekt developed over the past 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 span about a century of trying to understand the atmosphere and oceans. I want to pick out what I see as some key advances in understanding -- things that are simple and well known today, though -- to my continual surprise -- not all of them clearly flagged up in the textbooks, even today. So it's going to be simple -- but also so important that I make no apology.

It's a great honor to be giving the Bernhard Haurwitz Memorial Lecture and I'm very touched. And it's wonderful to see all the young faces -- and the not-so-young who are personal friends and colleagues of mine -- and to learn something more about your important work, as well as, for my part, indulging in a little personal nostalgia, as may be permitted at my advanced age.
I myself have been more into astrophysical and, to some extent, plasma-physics problems recently, but the bottom line is

and the huge challenge of observing and understanding it better. Indeed, you young scientists, and technologists and smart thinkers generally, with your energy, enthusiasm, and penetrating curiousity about how things work, are an important part of our hope for the future survival of science and civilization -indeed the future flourishing of science and civilization.

Of course no-one should be afraid of making mistakes. They can be milestones on the way to something interesting. I suspect that the ability to make mistakes is related to the ability to have new ideas. The great physicist John Archibald Wheeler said that “genius is the ability to make all possible mistakes in the shortest possible time.” (Ordinary mortals like me take longer.)
A tale of two paradigms,
with remarks on unconscious assumptions
