The three-body problem, one of the most notoriously complex calculations in physics, may have met its match in artificial intelligence: a new neural network promises to find solutions up to 100 million times faster than existing techniques. 三体问题是物理学中最复杂的计算题之一,但它在人工智能领域可能遇到了对手:一种新型神经网络有望以比现有技术快1亿倍的速度找出其解决方案。 First formulated by Sir Isaac Newton, the three-body problem involves calculating the movement of three gravitationally interacting bodies – such as the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun, for example – given their initial positions and velocities. 三体问题是由艾萨克·牛顿爵士最先提出的,它指的是已知三个物体最初的位置和速度,计算它们在相互之间万有引力作用下的运动规律,例如地球、月球和太阳。 |
