OpenAI recently announced that one of its AI models solved one of the hardest problems in modern mathematics: the Navier–Stokes problem. The equations at the heart of this problem describe the movement of fluids like water and, according to the scientific definition, air. The Navier-Stokes equations are essential to understanding phenomena such as ocean currents,
