Hilbert's sixth problem: derivation of fluid equations via Boltzmann's kinetic 
theory
https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.01800

I don't really recommend the Quanta article. But it is good for history, I 
guess. I ran out of the time I allotted for reading the paper. And I don't 
understand the math, anyway. But this quote might be interesting to some 
notorious one of us here:

"A fundamental intriguing question is the justification of the passage from the 
time-reversible microscopic Newton’s theory to the time-irreversible mesoscopic Boltzmann 
theory. It is well-known (see [55] for smooth data and [33] for L∞ data, also [27] for 
large-amplitude renormalized solutions) that solutions to Boltzmann’s equation are 
global-in-time near any Maxwellian, and the celebrated Boltzmann H-theorem indicates the 
increase of physical entropy and time irreversibility in the Boltzmann theory. Since 
Theorem 1 covers the full lifespan of the Boltzmann solution, it could be viewed as a 
justification of the emergence of the time irrevsesible Boltzmann theory from the time 
reversible Newton’s theory near Maxwellian."
