Abstract
A team of scientists from School of Physics and Astronomy at Queen Mary University of London has developed a novel artificial intelligence method that could revolutionize our understanding of the universe's most mysterious shapes. Using advanced machine learning, researchers can now explore complex geometric spaces, like the fabric of spacetime itself, without relying on traditional symmetry assumptions.
This new algorithm, called AInstein, tackles one of the most complex puzzles in physics and mathematics: finding the precise shape of space under Einstein field equations. Remarkably, it can do so on spaces as intricate as higher-dimensional spheres, opening new avenues for discovery and shedding light on our understanding of the universe.
Evaluation of the impact of the most recent €10-million Europlanet project funded by the European Commission (EC) has been featured as a case study in the journal Nature Astronomy, published today.
