Back in 1940, Eckart attempted to make Navier–Stokes hydrodynamics
compatible with Einstein's theory of special relativity. It didn't age
well. About 40 years later, physicists admitted defeat and embraced a
new contender: Israel–Stewart theory. Another 40 years roll by, and here
we are, realizing that this second attempt can also fail us, sometimes.
It looks like has been playing a prank on Einstein himself. What is
happening?
