Summary
This introductory chapter notes the historical context in which the new theory foundation of hydrodynamics arose, particularly the role that experiments in relativistic nuclear collisions played in pushing theory developments. As an analogy to fluid dynamics, the case of nonrelativistic diffusion is discussed.
