Well, thermals are turbulences due to temparature differences in the air-space, probably most felt on morning, where cold ground gets heated by summer sun making little air pockets/flows of different air-pressure get under the wing ... doe, was just once whyte a Cessna in my hand in realz. Felt just the normal turbulence (was quite shocked that they were so strong to be felt both on plane and the stick).

We are still undeveloped as long as we don´t realize, that all our science is still descriptive, and than beyond that description lies a whole new world we just haven´t even started to fully understand.
