Alpöge and Buckmaster release smooth-forced blowup results; Tao says machinery may extend to Navier-Stokes
burny_tech · x · 2026-09-08
Levent Alpöge and Tristan Buckmaster have released new smooth-forced finite-time blowup results — a potential breakthrough line of counterexample work in fluid dynamics. Alpöge is credited with starting the chain of counterexample research. Navier–Stokes is not solved yet, but Terence Tao is now openly saying this machinery may extend all the way to Navier–Stokes itself, making the past 24 hours remarkable for the math community.
