Computer proof ‘blows up’ centuries-old fluid equations
I remember my math professor at university telling me that truth in mathematics was a social construct, and that nothing was true until a social consensus had been reached between mathematicians.<p>This struck me at the time as a very powerful statement, yet unexpected, since very much not what most people expect from mathematics. After all, it&#x27;s supposed to be  a field where there is such a thing as a (most of the time)  reachable truth!
