Application of the "ergodic" theorem has proved very useful, said Dr. Wiener, rushing into a mass of detail so abstruse that not all his colleagues could understand him. Many unsolved problems on turbulent motion still remain, but Wiener's enthusiasm for harmonic analysis was so intense last week that...
