  "summary": "The Navier-Stokes equations describe how fluids like water, air, blood, weather systems move. They're used every day in aircraft design, ocean modelling and meteorology. But one question about them has remained unresolved for nearly a century. Can a perfectly smooth flow, described by these equations, spontaneously develop an infinite, uncontrolled spike - mathematicians call this a 'blow-up' -…",
