Mathematical value of constructing sphere eversions

There a variety of answers to your question. I have a particular bias. Let me transpose your question to another context. Say someone comes up with a "computation" of the unstable homotopy groups …

About the commutativity of the $1^\text{st}$ homotopy group of the space of knots

There is a fairly clean statement about which components of the "long knot space" have abelian fundamental group. $$K_{3,1} = \{ f : \mathbb R \to \mathbb R^3 : f(t)=(t,0,0) \text{ for } |t|>1 \} \sub …

Is Cohen immersion conjecture (theorem) known for vector bundles?

The answer is no. Perhaps the simplest counter-example is for vector bundles over $0$-manifolds. They all immerse in $\mathbb R^n$ where $n$ is the dimension of the bundle. This is a considerably b …

Can a nontrivial $n$-sphere bundle over $M$ embed in $M\times \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$?

The idea is to use the straight-line homotopy to construct such an extension, and then perturb the homotopy to be a family of embeddings. …
