When David Edwards describes why he got into studying fluid mechanics and what it is - how oil pours put of bottle, how it flows over fresh garden leaves - it seems like poetry.
With digital life has changed. We dont go out that much as the world comes to us. But we are now connected to an orca carrying its dead baby.
