“Mathematicians have found solutions to a 140-year-old, seven-dimensional equation that were not known to exist for more than a century, despite its widespread use in modeling the behavior of gases.”

The wife will be glad to hear this.

During the late 1860s and 1870s, physicists James Clerk Maxwell and Ludwig Boltzmann developed this equation to predict how gaseous material distributes itself in space and how it responds to changes in things like temperature, pressure or velocity.

If only they'd've asked me. I could've told 'em.

My granddaughter told her brother: I send a Boltzmann in your direction. He ran out of the room holding his nose. Kids are so adaptable.

When they solve Fermat’s last theorem, call me.

Rapid decay to equilibrium means that the effect of an initial small disturbance in the gas is short-lived and quickly becomes unnoticeable.

I guess, then, that they're going to need one frickin huge butterfly.
