       Sazetak:   In the world of moderate Reynolds number, everyday
 turbulence of fluids flowing across planes and down pipes a velvet
 revolution is taking place. Experiments are almost as detailed as the
 numerical simulations, DNS is yielding exact numerical solutions that
 one  dared not dream about a decade ago, and dynamical systems
visualization
 of  turbulent fluid's state space geometry is unexpectedly elegant.
 
 We shall take you on a tour of this newly breached, hitherto inaccessible
territory. 
 Mastery of fluid mechanics is no prerequisite, and perhaps a  hindrance:
the talk is aimed at anyone 
 who had ever wondered why - if  no cloud is ever seen twice - we know a
cloud when we see one? And how do
 we turn that into mathematics?
