I found this article about people from Cornell University creating a powerful computer program that was able, due to some major calculations, to figure some scientific laws of physics such as the Newtonian Laws. It’s pretty cool to know that a program could do that and that in the future it might be able to help us discover new things about science.
Even though it was more like a program full of trial and error, with a supercomputer and a lot of memory, we could try a huge amount of formulas and get results faster than humans can.

This is very interesting research. I’m sure there are many aspects of this world that scientists have taken data from, but can’t analyze. I’m amazed at the idea of attaching sensors to something and having it give you back laws/equations about the way in which it works and moves.
