Quanta Magazine - How Quantum Physics Describes Earth’s Weather Patterns | Quanta Magazine

Two illustrations of the importance of cross-pollination in science.

“In any case, plant scientists were routinely thinking about the Krebs cycle in terms of growth, rather than ATP synthesis, long before most cancer biologists began to think that way. We should never forget that ideas in science often come from unexpected quarters. Focusing funding on research into human cancer would miss profound insights deriving from plant scientists.”

— Nick Lane, Transformer 📘

“The why, it turned out, was hiding in the quantum realm — a place geophysicists rarely tread. Likewise, most quantum physicists don't generally tackle the mysteries of geophysical fluids. But Marston was an exception.”

— Katie McCormick, How Quantum Physicists Explained Earth’s Oscillating Weather Patterns 📄
