- Guess: Formulate a hypothesis or new law.
- Compute: Derive the logical consequences of the guess.
- Compare: Validate these consequences with empirical observations.
Advancements via Artificial Intelligence
- Transition from passive data analysis to autonomous agentic-ai capable of active research participation.
- DeepMind Aletheia
- A groundbreaking self-correcting AI agent designed to contribute to novel scientific research. (Alan Duffy on Dark Matter: Unveiling the Invisible Universe Down Under)
