All the aggressive actions I do to myself I would never dream of doing in my own life - I am not this kind of person. I cry if I cut myself peeling potatoes. I am taking the plane, there is turbulence, I am shaking. In performance, I become, somehow, like not a mortal.

Life is not safe, and so our task is not to promise our kids there will be no turbulence. It's to assure them that when the turbulence comes, we will all hold hands and get through it together.

Kevin Kelly

When a system is in turbulence, the turbulence is not just out there in the environment, but is a part of the organization or organism that you are looking at.

The Fed cannot levitate markets forever. And when they finally do move, I think we have to be prepared for a considerable amount of turbulence.

American Businessman

After the turbulence of death, moral principles and even religious proofs are called into question.

Turbulence is life force. It is opportunity. Let's love turbulence and use it for change.

I got kicked out of school... I caused a lot of turbulence throughout those years.

If the plane moves, some turbulence, I am nervous flyer.

Christopher Plummer

I hate turbulence in life, but also on planes.

Canadian Actor

Used to describe the physical sensation felt during uneven movement, often in vehicles.

Physical Experience

Commonly associated with bad weather, especially when flying.

Weather Related

While often uncomfortable, turbulence is a regular and expected part of flight.

Not Always Negative

Used metaphorically to describe any situation or period of disorder.

Metaphorical Use

Implies an unpredictable and difficult to control situation, often used in news.

Uncertain Situations

Extends beyond its physical sense to indicate any chaotic state in a field.

Beyond Physics

Used in scientific and academic contexts to discuss fluid motion.

Scientific Specificity

In physics, turbulence has measurable properties like intensity and scale.

Quantifiable

Contrasts with 'laminar flow', which is smooth and orderly movement in fluids.

Contrast to Laminar

 was remarkably close to the way turbulent flow works, although a complete description of turbulence remains one of the unsolved problems in physics. A turbulent flow is self-similar if there is an energy cascade. In other words, big eddies transfer their energy to smaller eddies, which do likewise at other scales.

The unexpected math...

 So one of them is that just any individual is subjected to less of the turbulence and all the damaging features that can happen from that environment. So they're all hunkered down there. Then, also, there's a safety in numbers thing because it also helps you keep away the predators,

What sticky sea...

 What's happened in this world of pipe is somebody has flipped it. They've changed the rules from laminar to turbulent. All the rules are gone. In that environment, instantly, all the possibilities which turbulence brings are available, and it's not the same as laminar.

 And it's on the other side also, I think, quite beautiful, as it somehow shows the turbulence in these kind of downtown areas, in these different places of the world. The "Green river," as a kind of activist idea, not a part of an exhibition,

 without turbulence, for a fraction of the energy consumption, about one tenth, to be precise, of an aircraft. And that's important, because we, as humans, have an innate need for speed.
