That's the only thing I could imagine, but given that fluids are dynamic, how could we make any meaningful predictions over time?

perhaps the brainiacs are succeeding, and from little I've understood about the supercomputers working on these projects, they are making advances.

As Lebowski has outlined, the amount of information to be digested, the level of expertise required and the breadth of the examination appears enormous. Perhaps he has experience and expertise in all those areas, but my guess, rank speculation, is it requires teams of persons coupling their knowledge together to come to meaningful conclusions. It looks downright impossible to make meaningful conclusions, but that's to an outsider.

And if that is true, how is it possible to have a consensus as to correlations?

I would like to know if Lebowski has the articles and journals which lead in this area, linked, so that I might not be so ignorant as I admit that I am.
