The part of Navier-Stokes no one is talking about
- Yesterday OpenAI announced a proof that settled a long-standing question about the Navier-Stokes equations from fluid dynamics.
- The announcement has created a lot of buzz, as one would expect.
- But there’s an aspect of OpenAI’s work that I haven’t seen anyone talk about: they posted a Lean 4 formal proof at the same time as their conventional human-readable proof.
