    It's a little weird to talk about the origins and our understanding of the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations and not mention that they are both truncations of the Boltzmann equation from gaskinetics.

      They lived before Boltzmann so it makes sense to call those the origin (dawn in the article).

    A nicely framed article that helps to explain emergent theories such as Navier-Stokes.
