Abstract

In this paper, we consider the fundamental characteristics of motion in the universe in terms of the whole and local evolutionary forms of fluids, based on the theory of blown‐ups and the experiment of spinning disc of currents. It is pointed out that the practical meaning of “the invisible Tao”, see Lao Tsu for more details, is that of currents, and the central theory of fluid dynamics is the vortex flow dynamics, and the practicability of the nonlinear evolutions of mathematical models is getting away from the assumption of continuity.
