AI helps scientists model the big bang
The number of factors you have to consider when calculating how the big bang went down is tremendous. The key part of the story you have to model is quark-gluon plasma. This is a state where there were many tiny quantum entangled particles, which eventually reached a point of … [Read more...] about AI helps scientists model the big bang
