Wasn’t the formula to calculate turbulence from a russian math genius who lives somewhere in the woods, appeared with the solution and disappeared again?
I think you may be conflating something with the story of Perelman, who solved the Poincare conjecture (with its 1 million dollar prize), rejected the prize and basically told the math world to stuff it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigori_Perelman
Someone once solved a 25 year old math problem and posted the proof on 4chan.
I love the subtitle. The fact that it was
makes it completely believable.
