Hi,
Sounds crazy right? Not according to researchers at Columbia University.
Recently i read that researchers at Columbia University used artificial intelligence (AI) to find new solution variables for old classical mechanics problems like a dual pendulum. Normally these would be modeled using a set of state variables that anyone that does this kind of analysis would recognize in a second and understand what each and every state variable represented in the physical system.
Using AI they claim that by letting the system look for it's own ways of doing the analysis, it came up with a set of variables that has nothing to do with what we normally think of when we do this kind of thing. They say that the variables they came up with they cant understand because it makes no sense physically, yet the new system comes up with the right results.
This they claim shows that they found a completely new physics.
Check it out yourself and see what you think.
