Is Theoretical Physics Wasting Our Best Living Minds On Nonsense?
Physics is broken again. Spending our money and brains when we could be unravelling life and consciousness. When will mechanics stop fiddling and allow the rest of us the resources we need to unlock the mystery of evolution and our minds as we rise to the heavens?
‘The Universe Speaks in Numbers’ – Interview 5 - Graham Farmelo
EDWARD WITTEN Edward Witten is widely regarded as the pre-eminent theoretical physicist of the past four decades. Based at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, he has made dozens of path-breaking contributions to both physics and mathematics. Listen to the interview Witten at lunch…
It’s not right (yet) though as they say, superstring theory is not even wrong. Here Witten admits its been a longer journey to disprove his theory than he thought it would. Heh.
Physics Titan Still Thinks String Theory Is “On the Right Track”
At a 1990 conference on cosmology, I asked attendees, who included folks like Stephen Hawking, Michael Turner, James Peebles, Alan Guth and Andrei Linde, to nominate the smartest living physicist.
Posting the video mentioned by the OP – Kepler’s laws nailed, then, then, then… This is getting exciting again since recent quantum guys broke physics for us all.
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?
Why Is Quantum Gravity So Hard? And Why Did Stalin Execute the Man Who Pioneered the Subject?
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
It’s happening already, read this: “A theory of everything, a grand unified theory of physics and nature, has been elusive for the world of Physics. While unifying various forces and interactions in nature, starting from the unification of electricity and magnetism in James Clerk Maxwell’s seminal work A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism [8] to the electroweak unification by Weinberg-Salam-Glashow [9-11] and research in the direction of establishing the Standard Model including the QCD sector by Murray Gell-Mann and Richard Feynman [12,13], has seen developments in a slow but surefooted manner, we now have a few candidate theories of everything, primary among which is String Theory [14]. Unfortunately, we are still some way off from establishing various areas of the theory in an empirical manner. Chief among this is the concept of supersymmetry [15], which is an important part of String Theory. There were no evidences found for supersymmetry in the first run of the Large Hadron Collider [16]. When the Large Hadron Collider discovered the Higgs Boson in 2011-12 [17-19], there were results that were problematic for the Minimum Supersymmetric Model (MSSM), since the value of the mass of the Higgs Boson at 125 GeV is relatively large for the model and could only be attained with large radiative loop corrections from top squarks that many theoreticians considered to be `unnatural’ [20]. In the absence of experiments that can test certain frontiers of Physics, particularly due to energy constraints particularly at the smallest of scales, the importance of simulations and computational research cannot be underplayed.”
Steven Weinberg, called it “a troubling thought” that humans might not be smart enough to understand the final Theory of Everything. “But I suspect in that case,” he wrote in an email, “we will also not be smart enough to design a computer that can find a final theory.” — MORE HERE https://mindmatters.ai/2020/12/can-a-powerful-enough-computer-work-out-a-theory-of-everything/
Can a Powerful Enough Computer Work Out a Theory of Everything?
No doubt DeepMind is working on it. It seems to have cracked the structure of the protein and other complex relationships, the whole shebang is likely next on the cards.
Artificial intelligence could be one of humanity’s most useful inventions. We research and build safe artificial intelligence systems. We’re committed to solving intelligence, to advance science and benefit humanity.
I’m linking to this. its a good place to start with regards to how Artificial Intelligence will solve our problems for us, probably by removing us alongside our problems.
Could Artificial Intelligence Solve The Problems Einstein Couldn’t?
One of the reasons A.I. has been so successful at solving games,” Dr. Thaler said, “is that games have a very well-defined notion of success.” He added, “If we could define what success means for physical laws, that would be an incredible breakthrough.
Can a Computer Devise a Theory of Everything? (Published 2020)
“In the recent past, neural networks have also helped in determining heavy quarks as well as identifying electrons [76]. We can use deep learning to solve Schrodinger’s equation, to find the ground state energy [77]. There is a growing need to turn noisy and large data sets into meaningful information as we try to increase our ability to prepare and control increasingly complex quantum systems experimentally. It is in this area that we can utilize machine learning, such as the use of algorithmic learning and Bayesian methods for Hamiltonian learning [78], to classify quantum states [79] and to characterize unknown unitary transformations [80]. Reconstruction of the Hamiltonian to identify an accurate model for quantum system dynamics, extracting information on unknown quantum states and engineering quantum gates with pairwise interactions, using both time-independent and time-dependent hamiltonians, are all better done using artificial intelligence.”

It has to be right – because anyone can change it to suit pretty much ANY future finding – not really science but an answer all the same
…and out pops spacetime, geddit Lex?

Let Lex mumble through it for you. Great interview though. Answer, yes they can, and likely will discover all the bits we failed to solve.
I think they could do it, but would they even let on, or keep us in suspense for their own means – They may know something we don’t already

Careful now! Behold the hawk in the chair. AI could undo us. Talking XXX rather than Science.

Ahh, the old spherical cow rears its ugly head – as mentioned in Ken Aizawa’s book; The Bounds of Cognition.
this explains it, I don’t think the OP really wants someone to make cows spherical. Just make physics easier to approximate.
