Another Millenium Problem May Have Been Solved

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."

Hm.

I have no idea what any of that means, but rest assured that by the time this thread ends I will have developed ironclad opinions on the subject.

LOUD ones.

who needs a description of the motion of fluid substances? I want video, perferably in slow-motion and from multiple angles.

Smoother rendition possible...

I bet if I put on a pimp hat and read it while drinking a glass of Courvoisier, I could make it "The Even Smoother Immortal Smooth Solution of the Three Space Dimensional Navier-Stokes System".

Don't player hate, player appreciate baby.

Whuh?

Man, I haven't had a date in like 4 years, and even *I'm* not nerdy enough to know why this matters...

I have a truly remarkable proof that will convince you, but the dang lameness filter is getting in the way.

Re:Quite impressive

[pipingguy]

I agree. Fluid dynamics is very fascinating. Since I'm not so smart I've devoted my limited abilities to trying to understand the things we put conventional fluids into so that we can transmit them.

The toughest millenium problem of all...

[john-da-luthrun]

...is getting people to spell it "millennium". Cracking that one would be a million dollars of anybody's money...

Re:Quite impressive

[legrimpeur]

Actually the whole thing IS NOT about FINDING SOLUTION of the Navier-Stokes equations,
but rather the PROOF of THE EXISTENCE OF A FORMAL SOLUTION. You still have to find it,
  either analytically or (most probably) numerically.

Bottom line: about this a mathematician gets horny, an engineer says SO WHAT!!!

Just remember:

A millennium is mille + annus: a thousand years.
A millenium is mille + anus: a thousand assholes.

If you get it wrong, you're anal; if you get it right, you're annual.
