Teaching physics allows AI to make autonomous discoveries.



The AI is a suitable tool to make astronomical discoveries. All objects in the universe are following the laws of physics. And things like dangerous asteroids can search by using AI-boosted telescopes. The AI is an excellent tool for searching for changes from the images taken during certain periods. The AI can see if some point is moved. And that is the mark of the new asteroid or even planet. The AI can search thousands of objects. 

And that makes it an ultimate tool for astronomers. Searching new planet is not very dramatic. Astronomers are just looking at the points in two images taken in a certain period. And if one of those points is moved there could be the planet or dwarf planet or asteroid. That work is very boring. And it can leave to the AI. 

The AI can search for changes in those points and then check from the database. If there is some asteroid in that trajectory. Then the AI can take an image of that asteroid and compare it with images of known asteroids. That thing makes it possible to compare those images by using face recognition software. And that thing can tell if there is a similar asteroid in the database. The fact is that there could be many dwarf planets and asteroids that have the same trajectory. 

Physics is one thing that can be useful for AI that should make discoveries. Physics and mathematics are things there are strict rules. And that thing is necessary when researchers are making the AI that can make discoveries. Things like Kepler radius are always the same. And the Kepler radius depends on the size of the star. These kinds of things are the tools that AI needs to find new planetary systems. 

The problem with new astronomical tools like JWST-telescopes is that they send very big data mass. And that data mass requires analysis. Finding planetary systems and exoplanets is quite boring work. The system must wait that the planet will travel between Earth and a distant star. And then the research team must search for changes in the star's brightness.  


This kind of method is useful. But it requires intensive measurements and a little bit of luck that the astronomers can notice the changes in the brightness. 


To observe changes in the star's brightness. The telescope must keep aimed at that star all the time when the planet makes its overpass. This is why the most exoplanet systems are orbiting red dwarfs. The orbit time of those planets is only a couple of days. And all the time when the telescope is aimed at a certain star. It is reserved. And out of other work. 

Red dwarfs are so small that planets are causing wobbling in their trajectory. And that's a good hint for astronomers. But if we want to search for habitable planets we must realize that those planets are orbiting very far away from very massive yellow stars that are giants to red dwarfs. Even our entire solar system doesn't have a big effect on the trajectory of the sun. 

Planets of red dwarfs are cold or they are locked. But if we want to search for planets that are orbiting yellow stars like our sun in its habitable zone we are facing one problem. The planet's overpass takes longer. And there is the possibility that the trajectory of that planet is askew that planet will not cross the plate of the star. 

That kind of planet requires more intensive work. AI is a very suitable tool to hunt planets. It can measure the changes in the brightness and changes in the dust disk around stars. Those deifications are suitable to find exoplanets from around young stars. 

The problem with hypothetical technical civilizations is that they are living on very mature planets. Mature planetary systems are cleaned from dust and ice. And that means finding those really interesting planets requires something else than searching for densification from the dust and ice.

Schrödinger's cat: and the limits of that idea.

"In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition". (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat). But the same thing can use as model for many other thought experiments.  Sooner or later, or at least in the ultimate end of the universe, the Schrödinger's cat will turn into wave movement. The information that this cat involved exists but the cat does not exist in its material form. The information doesn't ever vanish. It just turns its shape.  We are all trapped in the universe and time. The universe is the space that is entirety to us. There are no confirmed other universities. But the multiverse is a logical continuum for the expanding galactic megastructures.  The problem with natural things is this. They are black and white. They exist or do not exist. Could there be something, that exists and not exists at the same time?  Scrödinger's cat is thinking experiment about case their cat is not dead or not alive. But in this...

The string theory offers a new way to calculate Pi.

"Scientists discovered a new series for pi through string theory research, echoing a 15th-century formula by Madhava. By combining Euler-Beta Functions and Feynman Diagrams, they modeled particle interactions efficiently. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics) People normally think that. The pi is the ratio of the circumference circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The Pi is a mathematical constant 3.14159..., the endless decimal number. The Pi is interesting because developers can use that decimal number to make the encryption algorithms stronger.  The idea is that the encryptions program hides the message's original ASCII numbers by multiplicating those numbers with some decimal number. Or the system can add some numbers to those ASCII numbers.  "Aninda Sinha (left) and Arnab Saha (right). Credit: Manu Y" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Le...

There are always more than three actors in the real world.

"An international research team is advancing precision timekeeping by developing a nuclear clock using thorium isotopes and innovative laser methods, potentially transforming our understanding of physical constants and dark matter. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Unveiling the Thorium Nuclear Clock and Its Time-Twisting Secrets) From Three-body problem... There are no pure three-body systems in nature. There are always more than three components in the system. For making real three-body systems we must separate those three bodies from the environment. Otherwise, there are stable effects. But nobody can predict some effects like distant supernova explosions or sun eruptions.  And one of those things that affect all bodies is time. When radioactive materials decay. That affects the stability and symmetry of the object.  Energy levels affect the existence of things like neutrons. The thorium atom clocks are next-generation tools for time measurement....
