A machine-learning AI can solve physics problems by simplifying them to be more symmetric.
βThere are many, many cases in the history of science where people thought things were more complicated than they actually were because they hadn’t found the most simple description of it,β says at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
To create their AI, Tegmark and , also at MIT, used an artificial neural network, a computing set-up inspired by the way neurons connect in the…
