Will CMI declare the Navier-Stokes problem solved by ___?

Fluid Dynamics Won't Bend

Navier-Stokes has resisted mathematicians for a century, and the Clay Institute moves slower than a glacier. Betting on an official declaration by 2028 is wishful thinking with a fluid-dynamics twist.

The fine print (official resolution rules from Polymarket. Read them: this is where "impossible" bets get easy)

This market will resolve to "Yes" if the Clay Mathematics Institute (CMI) awards a Millennium Prize for the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem, or otherwise officially declares the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem solved on its website or in an official communication, by 11:59 PM ET of the listed date. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". A Millennium Prize award will qualify as an official declaration, but is not required; an official CMI statement that the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem has been solved is sufficient on its own. Whether the solution was produced in whole or in part by artificial intelligence, and whether any recipient accepts or declines a prize, will not be considered. A published or publicly posted proof will not qualify on its own, regardless of its acceptance by the mathematical community. The primary resolution source will be official information from the Clay Mathematics Institute (e.g., https://www.claymath.org); however, a consensus of credible reporting may be used to confirm that a qualifying CMI declaration or award has occurred.

No magnitude 10 has ever been recorded, and the Earth may not have a fault long enough to make one. You are betting that geology breaks its own record by roughly 30x in two months.
