\item Dimensional analysis argument not fully understood: I think $t_{\rm h}\sim \ell/c_{\rm s}$ on physical grounds, but Payam says $t_{\rm h}\sim \ell^2\rho/\eta$ from dimensional analysis. What is the interpretation of Payam's $t_{\rm h}$? Are the two compatible?

\begin{itemize}
\item
No! They The two $t_{\rm h}$s are measuring different things. Payam's $t_{\rm h}$ is considering the
{\it diffusion
of momentum information about }of a
particle (I think this is particle's momentum: the characteristic time in the
decay of the velocity
autocorrelation). autocorrelation. My $t_{\rm h}$ is about
pure information
flow. flow via sound waves.
\item Why does the hydrodynamic disturbance travel diffusively rather than at the sound speed?
