Viscosity

The Navier-Stokes equations*
They have to do with fluids,
They have to do with flow,
And now AI has tested them,
They show what we don’t know.
Our life is like a fluid
All history but a flow
Of turbulence with impediments
What demon made it so?
Love likens to viscosity:
It stays us in the flood
Of mathematical arguments,
The fondest dreams of blood.
"Shitstorms are also a kind of wave."—Byung-Chul Han, In the Swarm: Digital Prospects, trans. Erik Butler (MIT Press, 2017), 5.
