A Dec. 5 Instagram post (direct link, archive link) shows a TikTok in which a man reads and shows screenshots from various NASA reports that reference a "flat, non-rotating earth" model. "NASA ...

Did you know meteorologists forecast the weather using a bunch of different physics and mathematical equations? They use these equations to create what's known as numerical weather models to predict ...

The doors to MIT are always unlocked. If you slip in at night and take a long walk down the fluorescent hallway called the Infinite Corridor, you will pass flatscreen monitors displaying friendly ...

Earlier this year, Mathematician Ian Stewart came out with an excellent and deeply researched book titled "In Pursuit of the Unknown: 17 Equations That Changed the World" that takes a look at the most ...

We introduce a dyadic model for the Euler equations and the Navier-Stokes equations with hyper-dissipation in three dimensions. For the dyadic Euler equations we prove finite time blow-up. In the ...

Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...
