In physics, AI is being used to analyze data from experiments and simulations, as well as to develop new models and theories. AI can also be used to find new patterns and correlations in data that were previously hidden, allowing physicists to make new discoveries. Why shouldn’t Artificial Intelligences share the answers with humans? Hidden information is just as valid as information you can all access and use – why not just hope they keep the answers secret from mankind, rather than just destroy humanity – ie, kill people for it, like humans tend to do when frustrated or lacking the right information or required energy?

What is the hottest problem in fundamental physics today? Physics aficionados most probably would answer: quantum gravity. Of all the fundamental forces of nature, only gravity still stands outside the rubric of the quantum theory. The difficulty of quantizing gravity has led to radical theories suc... Read more
