An AI at Emory University analyzing “dusty plasma” made a shocking discovery — it appeared to break Newton’s Third Law of Motion. In this episode of "AI Freaky Facts," host Steve Atwal dives into how artificial intelligence is uncovering new laws of physics. From "AI Feynman" at MIT to DeepMind’s AlphaTensor, these AI breakthroughs in machine learning and symbolic regression are showing that machines might one day understand the universe in ways humans can’t. Could AI revolutionize physics as we know it?

Contact Steve at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aifreakyfacts.com⁠⁠⁠⁠

Topics Covered: AI Freaky Facts, Steve Atwal, AI physics, artificial intelligence, new law of physics, Emory University, symbolic regression, DeepMind, AI Feynman, AlphaTensor, Newton’s Third Law, machine discovery, physics podcast, AI breakthroughs, machine learning, science and technology, AI research, quantum mechanics

Beethoven died in 1827 with his 10th Symphony unfinished. Two centuries later, a team of scientists, composers, and an AI resurrected it — note by note. In this episode of AI Freaky Facts, Steve explores how artificial intelligence studied Beethoven’s style, decoded his sketches, and composed a full symphony in his voice. Is it homage, forgery, or something entirely new?
