Our breakdown of @AnthropicAI’s progress on the Riemann Hypothesis.
Claude didn’t solve Riemann.
But going from ~42% to >67% in 30 hours is pretty wild.
We asked an unreleased research version of Claude to take a stab at the Riemann hypothesis.
It didn’t solve it, but it did make strides on a related problem: it increased the lower bound for the fraction of zeros of the Riemann zeta function that satisfy the hypothesis from 41.6% to 67.2%.

Unlike electricity, fluid dynamics are chaotic. The Navier-Stokes equations' non-linear 'convective term' causes interactions, leading to turbulence and whirlpools—like where the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers meet to form the Ganga. #Physics #FluidDynamics
Physicists discovered jamming in granular materials can be controlled. This led to a 2010 robot hand using coffee grounds that can pick up ANY object by adapting its shape—a breakthrough in soft matter physics and robotics. #Robotics #Physics #Innovation
Scientists are using focused ultrasound and bubble cavitation to physically break apart cancerous tissue without an incision. #MedicalTech #CancerTreatment #Innovation
Ever wondered why your Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and radio signals don't interfere? It's all thanks to the linear nature of Maxwell's equations for electric fields. #Physics #Electromagnetism #ScienceExplained
Solving complex physics for F1 cars means breaking down space into tiny grid boxes. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) lets engineers approximate solutions for insane geometries, leading to incredible engineering achievements like planes and jets. #CFD #Engineering #Science
AI leaders reacted swiftly to Dario's proposal, with Musk, Altman, and Hassabis publicly agreeing. But Microsoft's response was nuanced, and Meta's Zuck remained silent for days, highlighting different approaches to AI safety and regulation. #AI #Tech #Regulation
Most differential equations describe growth over infinite time. But some, like dy/dt = y², create a singularity in FINITE time. At t=1, the solution becomes infinity. Nonlinearity is key! #Calculus #Math #Singularity
The debate around AI and China: will they seek global access or narrow, controlled implementations? Geopolitical competition doesn't necessarily preclude global collaboration on AI. #AI #Geopolitics #China
Applying Newton's laws to every water molecule is impossible. Instead, we track fluid velocity as a 'velocity field'. #Physics #FluidDynamics #ScienceExplained
The Navier-Stokes equations in 3D are a Millennium Prize Problem. It's about proving existence/smoothness (viscosity wins) or breakdown (convective term wins). One side means it's always smooth, the other means a singularity. #Math #NavierStokes
Understanding fluid motion isn't about tracking every molecule. It's about defining a velocity field—a map of motion at every point. This new language helps us predict complex behaviors without getting lost in the microscopic. #Physics #FluidDynamics #ScienceExplained
AI is moving beyond chatbots. Frontier models are now proposing hypotheses for biological experiments, with automated labs executing them. This accelerates discovery, but raises questions about human oversight in research. #AI #Science #FutureOfResearch
You asked for Navier-Stokes. We went all in.
4 hours building up the math, unpacking what OpenAI actually did, and getting into the fallout.
Bring your curiosity. Maybe a second coffee. We’re proud of this one.

The federal government isn't lacking funding for applied research – the private sector already outspends it significantly. The real need is for basic research, which drives future GDP growth. Let's focus funding there. #ResearchFunding #Innovation
