In this episode, we dive into the Navier-Stokes Equations, the mathematical key to understanding the chaos of air, water, and motion. These equations govern the flow of fluids—from ocean currents to turbulence in the air we breathe. But there’s a catch: proving that these equations always work without spiraling into chaos remains an unsolved mystery.
Even Hollywood couldn’t resist its allure. In the movie Gifted, the Navier-Stokes problem becomes the obsession of a mathematical prodigy, symbolizing the ultimate intellectual challenge. Solving it could transform everything from climate science to aerospace engineering.
Join us as we explore the math behind the chaos and why this problem has fascinated both geniuses and storytellers alike.
