This is massive, world changing AI news
AI achieved superhuman performance in theoretical physics.
GPT-6 Astra autonomously solved 49 of 50 unpublished theoretical physics research problems, 98% accuracy at under $3 per problem.
$3 per problem, think about it...
Crazy part?
Researchers initially marked several answers wrong, only to discover that the AI had caught mistakes in calculations by world class physicists.
why this is imo way more important and insane news than AI games, pics, recent software disruption?
Advancing theoretical physics may give us technologies like:
Practical fusion power, antimatter propulsion, relativistic spacecraft, interstellar travel, artificial gravity, vacuum engineering, micro black holes, wormholes, warp drives, solving dark matter and dark energy, theory of everything + 1000s more.
we're berely scratching the surface, and super physics AI can easily accelerate our progress 1000s fold, so we can see all this in our lifetimes.
just like in math , ~1000 big (unsolved by decads) math problems solved by OpenAI and Google,
50-100 years worth of progress in one week.
Now we're moving this disruption and speed to theoretical physics.
This will give us Star Trek (and more advanced) tech by 2030s.
