Prove the existence of smooth solutions to a certain model

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the Navier-Stokes problem, a significant challenge in the field of incompressible fluid dynamics. It involves proving the existence of smooth solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe the motion of fluid substances. The Clay Mathematics Institute has designated this problem as one of seven Millennium Prize Problems, offering a reward of one million dollars for a successful solution. The conversation also notes that the Poincaré conjecture has likely been resolved, leaving potentially six unsolved problems.

You don't need to solve this, just tell me what problem it is... although if you do solve it you'll be a million dollars richer.

Prove the existence of smooth solutions to a certain model of incompressible fluid dynamics. This is the ... problem?

It's the Navier-stokes problem and Clay Mathematics institute offers 1 million dollars prize to solve it or 6 other different problems (possibly 5 because the Poincare conjecture seems to have been solved recently)

Thread 'Status Update by JRMichler'

Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
