AI Physics: The Transformative Impact of Machine Learning on Simulation and Design

AI Physics: The Transformative Impact of Machine Learning on Simulation and Design

For much of the 20th and early 21st centuries, physics-based simulations served as the cornerstone of scientific research and engineering innovation. Methods rooted in analytical mathematics—such as finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, and molecular dynamics—have provided insights into everything from turbulence in fluid flows to atomic-scale interactions. However, these traditional approaches are reaching their…

Einstein’s general relativity and quantum physics are united by a magical equation in the first

We have an equation connecting the quantum world and the cosmic realm in previously unimaginable ways for the first time. For the first time, a mathematical framework establishes the compatibility of quantum physics—the field of study that describes the behavior of electrons, photons, and other fundamental particles—and Einstein’s theory of general relativity, which describes the…
