“Imagine taking apart your home,” said Fred Smoller, an associate professor of political science at Chapman and a leader of the team. “Those pipes have to be cut and re-saldered together and all the wiring has to be put back in and into each of the lightsockets. It’s absolutely enormous. It’s beyond anything you can imagine.”
