thinkahol *Computer Program Self-Discovers Laws of Physics In just over a day, a powerful computer program accomplished a feat that took physicists centuries to complete: extrapolating the laws of motion from a pendulum's swings. Developed by Cornell researchers,

Condensing rule from raw data has long been considered the province of human intuition, not machine intelligence. Decipher datasets too complex for human analysis. As possible fields of application: environmental systems, weather patterns, population genetics, cosmology and oceanography. Any natural science has teh type of structure that would be amenable

Add Sticky NoteLipson and Schmidt designed their program to identify linked factors within a dataset fed to the program, then generate equations to describe their relationship. The dataset described the movements of simple mechanical systems like spring-loaded oscillators, single pendulums and double pendulums — mechanisms used by professors to illustrate physical laws.

Turns out, some of these equations were very familiar: the law of conservation of momentum, and Newton's second law of motion.

At least for the time being...
