  Feza G\"ursey was a brilliant physicist who loved symmetries and beautiful
mathematical structures such as group theory and division algebras. In this
centenary year, I give a brief review of some of his contributions and then
zero-in on group theory and discuss how it can give us a new perspective on a
centuries-old topic, namely, fluid dynamics, including new facets such as the
chiral magnetic effect. \vskip .1in \noindent This is a slightly edited and
enhanced version of a colloquium at the Middle East Technical University on
December 9, 2021, which was organized in celebration of the centenary of Feza
G\"ursey. The video of the presentation can be accessed by following the link
