We formulate a universal hydrodynamic description for theories without boost invariance, a non-trivial extension of Landau and Lifshitz. New transport coefficients, one in neutral and two more in charged fluids, are uncovered. We provide verifiable experimental consequences. While the description is applicable for the Lorentz (or Galilean) invariant theories with broken boost invariance, we focus on its application to quantum critical theories with Lifshitz scaling
symmetry.
 
The talk should be of general interest.  All are welcome to attend.
