Another Millenium Problem May Have Been Solved

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the we-all-miss-our-loved-ones-and-gas-equations dept.

S3D writes "After recent verification of the proof of the Poincaré conjecture, another of the Clay Institute's Millenium Problems may have been solved. This new solution is for Navier-Stokes equations under physically reasonable conditions. Navier-Stocks equations describe the motion of fluid substances such as liquids and gases. Penny Smith has posted an Arxiv paper entitled 'Immortal Smooth Solution of the Three Space Dimensional Navier-Stokes System' which may prove the existence of such solutions."

  1. Ah, one of those math stories by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Another one of those math stories where it's discussed entirely in the gibberish context it's initially presented in, while a good hundred or so posters talk as if they pretend to know what this material is about so they can look smart and whore karma points.

    I wonder if your post would have been modded up at all had you not said "As a math major." Shut the fuck up, no one cares.
