Seed has a new article out by Stephen Ornes, called The Proof is in the Blogging<\/a>, about the way the story of Penny Smith’s solution to the Navier-Stokes problem played out here<\/a>. I’m quite fond of the photo included in the Seed article.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure there’s anything more to be said about the Navier-Stokes story. One of my colleagues pointed out that mathematics is one of very few subjects in which bringing together a bunch of people with opposite views on what is true generally leads to one or more of them agreeing that they were wrong.<\/p>\n

There’s also a short article about this on Slashdot<\/a>. Taking advantage of the arXiv trackback mechanism, the author found the discussion<\/a> of this on Lubos’s blog. I was going to take the opportunity to complain about the arXiv censoring links to this blog, but it turns out in this case there is one there. The ways of the arXiv are endlessly mysterious, I have no idea what their trackback policy is these days.<\/p>\n

Maybe it’s also relevant to mention that for some reason the hot news retailed here about the proof of finite generation of the canonical ring is not attracting the kind of attention indicated in the Seed picture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
