Interesting fact: In the 19th century, craftsmen who made hats were known to be excitable and irrational, as well as to tremble with palsy and mix up their words. Such behavior gave rise to the familiar expression "mad as a hatter". The disorder, called hatter's shakes, was caused by chronic mercury poisoning from the solution used to treat the felt. Attacking the central nervous system, the toxin led to behavioral symptoms.

Across the blown-wet border,
Whose stormy echo runs and rings

In science:
When disorder is strong, liquid crystals are expected to have a finite correlation length , while in the weakly disordered case, quasi-long-range ordered glass phases can emerge [3, 7, 8].
Liquid crystals in random porous media: Disorder is stronger in low--density aerosils
First, we address the effective disorder strength in systems of continuous symmetry in porous media in the presence of random field and random anisotropy disorder, the latter being relevant for nematic liquid crystals.
Liquid crystals in random porous media: Disorder is stronger in low--density aerosils
The effective disorder strength at the scale ξ is the ratio of the typical disorder and elastic energies: hr (ξ ) = h(ξ )J (a)/J (ξ ) ∼ ξ df /2−d+2 .
Liquid crystals in random porous media: Disorder is stronger in low--density aerosils
The condition of weak disorder means two things: (1) the effective disorder at the pore size scale ξ is weak; (2) the renormalized disorder is weak at long length scales, i.e. ǫ = 4 − d is small.
Liquid crystals in random porous media: Disorder is stronger in low--density aerosils
When a fraction of spins are quenched, the system is effectively more disordered and it takes relatively smaller disorder in the quenched fields to produce the same effect as in a system with f = 0.
