UCLA professor challenges Anandkumar's Euler singularity paper: stability proof still unfinished
lpachter · x · 2026-09-09
UCLA professor Lior Pachter publicly questioned a paper by Anima Anandkumar and Anshul Kundaje claiming a stable singularity in the Euler equations. He asks whether "found" means a numerical candidate or an exact Euler solution with proved stability, noting the paper itself concedes the nonlinear stability proof remains unfinished. A substantive academic challenge to how an AI-for-Science result is being framed; whether the authors respond is worth watching.
