“Gentlemen, that is surely true, it is absolutely paradoxical; we cannot understand it, and we don’t know what it means. But we have proved it, and therefore we know it must be the truth.” —Benjamin ...

For centuries, mathematicians have sought to understand and model the motion of fluids. The equations that describe how ripples crease the surface of a pond have also helped researchers to predict the ...

Researchers have spent centuries looking for a scenario in which the Euler fluid equations fail. Now a mathematician has finally found one. Mathematicians have suspected for years that under specific ...
