Physics Is No Longer To Explain The World, Rather Predict Its Future
…d a formula for this. But what if tomorrow I drop this pen and it starts to fly? Then we will have to cancel all Newtonian mechanics because the nature does not obey these laws anymore. For example, back in the 19th century, astronomers noticed that the orbit of Mercury's motion around the Sun precesses, that is, shifts. Basically, it violated the Newtonian mechan…

…hat structure is characteristic of carbon at the high pressure of 100 GPa (this is one million atmospheres). But my program does not know anything about it. It only knows the laws of quantum mechanics and my search algorithm - the algorithm of global optimization. We make analysis that begins with random structures. They are disordered and look bad, they are not ener…
