Key Takeaways A scientist devised a computer algorithm which may lead to transformative discoveries in energy and whose very existence raises the likelihood that our reality could actually be a simulation.The algorithm was created by the physicist Hong Qin, from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL).The algorithm employs an AI process called machine learning, which improves its knowledge in an automated way, through experience. Qin is now adapting the algorithm to predict and even control other behaviors, with a current focus on particles of plasma...…Key Takeaways A scientist devised a computer algorithm which may lead to transformative discoveries in energy and whose very existence raises the likelihood that our reality could actually be a simulation.The algorithm was created by the physicist Hong Qin, from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL).The algorithm employs an AI process called machine learning, which improves its knowledge in an automated way, through experience.
