Prove or give a counter-example of the following statement:

In three space dimensions and time, given an initial velocity field, there exists a vector velocity and a scalar pressure field, which are both smooth and globally defined, that solve the Navier–Stokes equations.

This market resolves to YES if the Clay Mathematics Institute (or equivalent organization) agrees that the Navier-Stokes problem has been solved

Otherwise this market resolves to NO.

bought Ṁ50 NO

idk man

betting no though

How should one bet, if one thinks it will never be solved? What factors should go into one's trading decision?

@JussiVilleHeiskanen I am not arguing that that is the case, just the question occured to me.

@JussiVilleHeiskanen no on all these
