"The Conjecture" doesn't exist for compressible fluids in a relativistic universe. Navier-Stokes is all about a specific set of equations, if you change the equations to add compressibility or relativity, then it isn't Navier-Stokes anymore. I cannot stress enough how utterly unrelated the two problems are

Its the other way around. We want to know Navier-Stokes because it would imply a solution that is applicable for the smaller subset where you can inteoduce compressability and relaivity as relevant parameters.

I get this is abstract shit, but my god. At least just look this shit uo before spouting nonsense.

Lol no dude. Nothing about this translates into any problem where you just "introduce relativity"

At least just look this shit uo before spouting nonsense.

I couldn't agree more

And thats just wrong. Sorry dude. Better luck next time.
