Has this maths equation finally been solved by AI?

The Navier-Stokes equations have been around since the mid 1800s. They were devised as a way to predict how fluids would move, but it has been extremely difficult to prove that the equation works in all situations. Seemingly, AI has solved this equation in 90 hours, but not everyone is convinced. Aoife Kearins, History of Maths PhD student at the University of Oxford joins Seán to discuss.
