WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.799
What if the next big scientific revolution, the

00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:05.160
one that changes how we understand the universe

00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:07.839
and our place in it, doesn't come from some massive

00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:11.039
experiment, the kind with huge, complicated machines?

00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:13.800
Yeah, like smashing atoms in a giant collider.

00:00:14.500 --> 00:00:17.960
Exactly. What if it comes from an AI? An AI looking

00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:20.519
at data, finding something we missed. That's

00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:22.339
what we're diving into today, this potential

00:00:22.339 --> 00:00:25.160
discovery from Google AI. They've seemingly found

00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:28.339
a new particle. A particle that throws a wrench

00:00:28.339 --> 00:00:31.359
into, well, the rule book of physics as we know

00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:33.619
it. The standard model, to be precise. Right,

00:00:33.700 --> 00:00:35.659
the standard model. The thing is, it's already

00:00:35.659 --> 00:00:37.759
a pretty strange rule book when you really think

00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:40.140
about it. It is, isn't it? We often picture the

00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:42.079
universe as made of these tiny little balls,

00:00:42.420 --> 00:00:44.759
these particles. Yeah, like a cosmic game of

00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:47.219
marbles or something. But it's way more bizarre

00:00:47.219 --> 00:00:49.799
than that. Oh, absolutely. It's really about

00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:53.240
fields. Like, imagine invisible fields that govern

00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:55.240
everything. Like the magnetic field around a

00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:56.979
magnet. You can't see it, but it's there, making

00:00:56.979 --> 00:00:59.700
things happen. Exactly. And there's a field for

00:00:59.700 --> 00:01:01.460
everything, or at least for every fundamental

00:01:01.460 --> 00:01:03.840
particle. There's the Higgs field, the electron

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.540
field, the quark field, all overlapping, all

00:01:06.540 --> 00:01:09.079
the time, everywhere. And it's the Higgs field

00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:11.840
that gives particles their mass, like it's some

00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.280
kind of cosmic speed regulator. Kind of, yeah.

00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:17.739
It determines how particles move through space.

00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:20.099
But even physicists, you know, they often just

00:01:20.099 --> 00:01:22.239
talk about the particles themselves. Right. Because

00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:25.340
it's easier to picture a tiny ball than an invisible

00:01:25.340 --> 00:01:28.140
field. But these fields, that's the real story.

00:01:28.299 --> 00:01:30.060
That's where the Standard Model comes in. It's

00:01:30.060 --> 00:01:32.560
our best attempt to map all these fields and

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:35.340
the particles they create. And it's been incredibly

00:01:35.340 --> 00:01:37.379
successful so far. Like with the Higgs boson.

00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:39.739
It was predicted by the Standard Model and then

00:01:39.739 --> 00:01:42.379
boom, we found it. Exactly. Major confirmation.

00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:44.620
But this new particle, this wasn't on the map.

00:01:44.700 --> 00:01:46.480
It's like finding a new continent. Completely

00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.019
unexpected. And here's the kicker. It wasn't

00:01:49.019 --> 00:01:51.519
a human scientist who spotted this. It was an

00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:55.400
AI. An AI looking at quantum data, the kind of

00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.959
stuff that would melt our human brains. That's

00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.620
the thing about quantum data. It's unbelievably

00:02:00.620 --> 00:02:03.260
complex, way beyond what we can easily process.

00:02:04.379 --> 00:02:07.579
But an AI, with its ability to see patterns,

00:02:08.139 --> 00:02:10.860
to find these subtle anomalies. Anomalies we'd

00:02:10.860 --> 00:02:13.680
probably just miss. Exactly. And that's exactly

00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.560
what happened here. This AI saw something weird,

00:02:16.699 --> 00:02:18.400
something that didn't fit. And the scientific

00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:20.360
community is kind of freaking out, right? I mean,

00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:22.740
in a good way, mostly. It's a mix of excitement

00:02:22.740 --> 00:02:25.319
and caution. I mean, if this is real, if this

00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:27.680
particle actually exists. It's not just a new

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:29.860
discovery. It's a whole new understanding of

00:02:29.860 --> 00:02:32.360
how the universe works. We're talking rewriting

00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:34.379
the textbooks, maybe even starting a whole new

00:02:34.379 --> 00:02:36.539
physics library. That's what we're going to explore

00:02:36.539 --> 00:02:39.360
in this deep dive. How did this AI make this

00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.819
discovery? Why is it such a big deal? What are

00:02:41.819 --> 00:02:43.620
scientists saying? We'll also get into this idea

00:02:43.620 --> 00:02:45.900
of a fifth fundamental force. Right, because

00:02:45.900 --> 00:02:49.860
our current physics only has four. Gravity, electromagnetism,

00:02:50.539 --> 00:02:53.979
and the strong and weak nuclear forces. But there

00:02:53.979 --> 00:02:56.180
might be another one out there. And maybe this

00:02:56.180 --> 00:02:59.139
new particle is the clue. We'll look at why the

00:02:59.139 --> 00:03:01.360
AI might have succeeded where we haven't. Imagine

00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.740
the moment when the AI was like, hey, something's

00:03:03.740 --> 00:03:06.919
not right here, and the potential impact. This

00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:08.680
could change how we think about dark matter,

00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.460
even extra dimensions. And of course, we can't

00:03:11.460 --> 00:03:13.080
forget the skeptics. They're important. They

00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:15.060
keep science honest. We'll look at why they're

00:03:15.060 --> 00:03:17.800
being cautious. But then let's imagine. What

00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:20.759
if it's real? What happens next? Is this the

00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.360
key to understanding dark matter? And there's

00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:26.370
this idea of a secret history. You know, hints

00:03:26.370 --> 00:03:28.789
of this particle may be appearing before, but

00:03:28.789 --> 00:03:30.550
we just didn't understand them. And what does

00:03:30.550 --> 00:03:32.990
this all mean for the future of science? Are

00:03:32.990 --> 00:03:35.330
we entering an age where AI is leading the charge,

00:03:35.530 --> 00:03:37.530
making discoveries we wouldn't even think to

00:03:37.530 --> 00:03:40.830
look for? It's a lot to unpack. But let's start

00:03:40.830 --> 00:03:43.229
with how this all went down. We know from our

00:03:43.229 --> 00:03:45.550
sources that it happened at Google's quantum

00:03:45.550 --> 00:03:48.560
AI lab. Right, and they had these AIs basically

00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:51.379
swimming through oceans of data from particle

00:03:51.379 --> 00:03:53.139
collisions, the kind of data that would take

00:03:53.139 --> 00:03:56.340
us, what, lifetimes to analyze? Probably, yeah.

00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:59.860
And this wasn't just number crunching. This AI,

00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.360
Google AI Studio, it was trained to look for

00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.280
patterns. But more importantly, it was trained

00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:07.139
to look for things that didn't fit the patterns,

00:04:07.340 --> 00:04:09.919
the anomalies. And then out of all that data,

00:04:10.460 --> 00:04:13.280
this AI raises a flag. It's like, hold on, this

00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.669
is weird. I bet the first reaction was, did we

00:04:15.669 --> 00:04:18.029
mess something up? Is this a glitch? Oh, I'm

00:04:18.029 --> 00:04:20.589
sure. I mean, errors happen, especially with

00:04:20.589 --> 00:04:24.170
complex quantum simulations. Yeah. But here's

00:04:24.170 --> 00:04:28.709
the thing. This anomaly, it kept showing up in

00:04:28.709 --> 00:04:30.790
different data sets, different experiments. It

00:04:30.790 --> 00:04:32.850
wasn't just a one time blip. And the numbers,

00:04:32.889 --> 00:04:35.310
they didn't match any known particle. This wasn't

00:04:35.310 --> 00:04:37.629
just a new flavor of something we already knew.

00:04:37.709 --> 00:04:39.829
It was something totally off the charts. It was

00:04:39.829 --> 00:04:41.750
a signal that, according to everything we thought

00:04:41.750 --> 00:04:44.269
we knew about physics, shouldn't be there. I

00:04:44.269 --> 00:04:45.970
can just picture the phone calls, the emails

00:04:45.970 --> 00:04:48.149
flying back and forth between physicists, especially

00:04:48.149 --> 00:04:50.910
at CERN, at Fermilab. It would have been pandemonium,

00:04:51.269 --> 00:04:52.930
controlled pandemonium, of course, but still.

00:04:53.389 --> 00:04:56.310
Because if this AI was right, it meant the standard

00:04:56.310 --> 00:04:59.589
model, the bedrock of particle physics. The thing

00:04:59.589 --> 00:05:02.790
we've been basing everything on for decades.

00:05:03.029 --> 00:05:07.110
It was incomplete. Maybe even fundamentally wrong.

00:05:07.310 --> 00:05:10.370
And that's a big deal. Huge. I mean, think about

00:05:10.370 --> 00:05:13.610
it. The standard model has been incredibly successful.

00:05:13.930 --> 00:05:16.750
It explains all the known fundamental particles.

00:05:16.990 --> 00:05:19.490
The ones that make up everything we see and touch.

00:05:19.769 --> 00:05:22.470
Exactly. And it explains the forces that govern

00:05:22.470 --> 00:05:25.490
those particles. Electromagnetism, the strong

00:05:25.490 --> 00:05:28.149
force that holds atomic nuclei together, the

00:05:28.149 --> 00:05:30.689
weak force responsible for radioactive decay.

00:05:30.870 --> 00:05:33.410
And for a long time, every new experiment seemed

00:05:33.410 --> 00:05:35.750
to just strengthen the standard model. It was

00:05:35.750 --> 00:05:38.920
like, yep. Nailed it. Right. But this new particle,

00:05:39.420 --> 00:05:41.459
it's like finding a piece that doesn't fit in

00:05:41.459 --> 00:05:43.379
a puzzle you thought you'd finished. And it's

00:05:43.379 --> 00:05:45.300
not just any puzzle piece, it's a piece that

00:05:45.300 --> 00:05:47.000
suggests there's a whole other section of the

00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:49.000
puzzle we didn't even know existed. And that's

00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:50.839
what's so exciting. It's like we've been staring

00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:53.879
at this incomplete picture of the universe, and

00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.100
now, maybe, we have a chance to see the full

00:05:57.100 --> 00:05:59.360
picture. To answer some of the biggest questions

00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.639
we have. Exactly. Like dark matter. What is it?

00:06:02.899 --> 00:06:05.600
Where does it come from? And... The dark energy,

00:06:05.819 --> 00:06:08.060
the mysterious force that seems to be pushing

00:06:08.060 --> 00:06:10.800
the universe apart faster and faster. And how

00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.079
does gravity, the force we all experience every

00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.420
day, how does it fit into the quantum world,

00:06:15.699 --> 00:06:17.839
the world of the very small? These are questions

00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:19.480
the Standard Model hasn't been able to answer.

00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:23.480
But maybe, just maybe, this new particle is the

00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:25.660
key. And the reaction from scientists has been

00:06:25.660 --> 00:06:27.800
fascinating. You've got some saying, this is

00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:29.459
it, the breakthrough we've been waiting for.

00:06:29.779 --> 00:06:32.220
But you also have others. understandably being

00:06:32.220 --> 00:06:35.120
more cautious. Like Dr. Anya Sharma at CERN.

00:06:35.300 --> 00:06:37.620
I read that she said the findings are remarkable

00:06:37.620 --> 00:06:40.439
but requiring rigorous independent verification.

00:06:40.699 --> 00:06:43.660
Exactly. And Dr. Kenji Tanaka at Caltech, he

00:06:43.660 --> 00:06:45.060
pointed out that this could be a transformative

00:06:45.060 --> 00:06:47.500
moment for AI in scientific discovery. But he

00:06:47.500 --> 00:06:50.420
also said, and rightfully so, that we have to

00:06:50.420 --> 00:06:53.339
be sure the AI isn't misinterpreting the data.

00:06:53.579 --> 00:06:56.199
Right. Is it seeing something new or just seeing

00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:58.149
something we already know in a new way? That's

00:06:58.149 --> 00:07:00.470
a critical question. It really makes you wonder,

00:07:00.610 --> 00:07:04.170
could this be the evidence for a fifth fundamental

00:07:04.170 --> 00:07:06.589
force? One that's been hiding in plain sight

00:07:06.589 --> 00:07:10.050
all along? It's certainly a possibility. The

00:07:10.050 --> 00:07:12.329
Standard Model, as we said, it describes four

00:07:12.329 --> 00:07:14.990
forces. But there have always been these hints,

00:07:15.149 --> 00:07:17.509
these theoretical ideas, that there might be

00:07:17.509 --> 00:07:20.129
more. Maybe a force connected to dark matter?

00:07:20.370 --> 00:07:23.509
Or to how the universe is expanding? And if this

00:07:23.509 --> 00:07:25.670
new particle interacts in a way that the Standard

00:07:25.670 --> 00:07:28.279
Model can't explain? Then that's pretty strong

00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:30.560
evidence for something new, something fundamental.

00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.040
A whole new force shaping the universe. And the

00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:36.759
fact that an AI spotted this when we, with all

00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:40.040
our big brains and fancy experiments, didn't.

00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:42.839
It's kind of humbling, isn't it? It is. We've

00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:44.800
built these enormous machines like the Large

00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:47.319
Hadron Collider to smash particles together.

00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:49.819
We've developed incredibly complex mathematics

00:07:49.819 --> 00:07:52.199
to try and understand what happens. And yet this

00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:55.879
AI, just by looking at data in a new way, might

00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:57.879
have found something we missed. And it wasn't

00:07:57.879 --> 00:07:59.860
even specifically looking for this particle.

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.379
Right. It wasn't programmed to say, go find a

00:08:02.379 --> 00:08:05.980
new force. It was just doing its thing, analyzing

00:08:05.980 --> 00:08:08.839
data, looking for patterns. And that's what's

00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:11.100
so incredible. It suggests that there might be

00:08:11.100 --> 00:08:13.180
all sorts of other things hidden in the data

00:08:13.180 --> 00:08:14.959
we've already collected. Things we haven't even

00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:18.000
thought to look for. So what if, and this is

00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.470
a big what if, what if AI is the key to unlocking

00:08:22.470 --> 00:08:24.949
these secrets. What if it can see things in the

00:08:24.949 --> 00:08:27.430
data that we're blind to? It would change everything.

00:08:27.689 --> 00:08:30.069
It would mean that we're entering a new era of

00:08:30.069 --> 00:08:33.049
scientific discovery where AI isn't just a tool,

00:08:33.409 --> 00:08:36.190
it's the lead explorer. And if this particular

00:08:36.190 --> 00:08:38.909
discovery is anything to go by, it's an explorer

00:08:38.909 --> 00:08:41.309
that could lead us to some pretty amazing places.

00:08:41.750 --> 00:08:43.669
I mean, just imagine the scene at Google when

00:08:43.669 --> 00:08:46.629
the AI first flagged this anomaly. You can picture

00:08:46.629 --> 00:08:49.320
it, can't you? The team huddled around the monitors,

00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:51.840
seeing these results that make no sense. And

00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:53.879
then the slow, dawning realization that they

00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:55.779
might be onto something huge. That they might

00:08:55.779 --> 00:08:58.200
have stumbled onto a clue that unlocks one of

00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.879
the biggest mysteries in physics. And that feeling,

00:09:00.980 --> 00:09:02.940
that feeling of being on the verge of something

00:09:02.940 --> 00:09:06.500
truly groundbreaking, that's what drives science

00:09:06.500 --> 00:09:09.259
forward. It's what pushes us to explore, to question,

00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:12.480
to challenge what we think we know. And the potential

00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:15.080
implications of this discovery, if it's real,

00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.019
They're mind -blowing. Absolutely. We're not

00:09:18.019 --> 00:09:20.019
just talking about adding a new particle to the

00:09:20.019 --> 00:09:22.320
list. We're talking about potentially changing

00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.220
our understanding of the universe at the most

00:09:24.220 --> 00:09:26.840
fundamental level. We might find new forms of

00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:30.139
matter, new dimensions of space, new ways to

00:09:30.139 --> 00:09:32.320
harness energy. We could revolutionize fields

00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:35.700
like quantum computing, space travel, even medicine.

00:09:35.820 --> 00:09:38.360
But we have to be careful, right? As exciting

00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:41.100
as this is, we can't just jump to conclusions.

00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:43.559
Of course not. That's where the skepticism comes

00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:45.929
in. And it's essential. Scientists are looking

00:09:45.929 --> 00:09:48.929
at this very carefully, asking tough questions.

00:09:49.029 --> 00:09:52.610
Like, could the AI be misinterpreting random

00:09:52.610 --> 00:09:54.330
noise in the data? Could there be some other

00:09:54.330 --> 00:09:56.850
explanation for what it's seeing? These are valid

00:09:56.850 --> 00:09:59.950
concerns. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary

00:09:59.950 --> 00:10:02.429
evidence. And the scientific community is taking

00:10:02.429 --> 00:10:04.909
that very seriously. So what happens next? What

00:10:04.909 --> 00:10:08.330
are the steps to verify or, well, debunk this

00:10:08.330 --> 00:10:10.389
discovery? Well, first, other scientists need

00:10:10.389 --> 00:10:13.070
to try and replicate the findings. That's the

00:10:13.070 --> 00:10:15.740
cornerstone of science. So teams at other labs,

00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:18.519
like CERN, they'll try to do the same experiments,

00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:20.940
analyze the data in the same way, and see if

00:10:20.940 --> 00:10:23.360
they get the same results. Exactly. And if they

00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:25.799
do, that's a big step towards confirming that

00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:28.440
this is real. But even then, there will be more

00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.039
tests, more analysis, more scrutiny. And this

00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.559
whole process could take years. Science doesn't

00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:35.320
move quickly when it comes to something this

00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:38.110
fundamental. No, it doesn't. But that's a good

00:10:38.110 --> 00:10:41.509
thing. We need to be absolutely sure before we

00:10:41.509 --> 00:10:43.750
rewrite the textbooks. And speaking of textbooks,

00:10:44.070 --> 00:10:46.509
the potential connection to dark matter is really

00:10:46.509 --> 00:10:49.190
intriguing. It is. I mean, dark matter is one

00:10:49.190 --> 00:10:51.669
of the biggest mysteries in physics. We know

00:10:51.669 --> 00:10:53.990
it's out there making up most of the matter in

00:10:53.990 --> 00:10:56.350
the universe. We can see its gravitational effects

00:10:56.350 --> 00:10:58.789
on galaxies, but we have no idea what it's made

00:10:58.789 --> 00:11:01.399
of. Right. It doesn't interact with light. so

00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:03.580
we can't see it directly, and it doesn't seem

00:11:03.580 --> 00:11:05.779
to interact much with ordinary matter either.

00:11:05.940 --> 00:11:07.980
Which is why it's been so hard to study. But

00:11:07.980 --> 00:11:11.080
if this new particle, if it interacts with dark

00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:13.440
matter in some way, that could be a game changer.

00:11:13.820 --> 00:11:16.000
It would give us a way to study dark matter,

00:11:16.419 --> 00:11:19.580
to finally understand what it is. It could unlock

00:11:19.580 --> 00:11:22.139
a whole new understanding of the universe. And

00:11:22.139 --> 00:11:25.190
then there's this secret history. aspect, the

00:11:25.190 --> 00:11:27.929
idea that maybe we've seen hints of this particle

00:11:27.929 --> 00:11:30.269
before. Right, like in old experiments, maybe

00:11:30.269 --> 00:11:32.850
even in classified military research. There are

00:11:32.850 --> 00:11:35.769
these catalyzing stories about unexplained signals,

00:11:36.370 --> 00:11:38.190
anomalies that didn't make sense at the time.

00:11:38.289 --> 00:11:40.509
Maybe they were dismissed as errors, or maybe

00:11:40.509 --> 00:11:42.509
they were just filed away waiting for someone

00:11:42.509 --> 00:11:44.350
to come along and make sense of them. And with

00:11:44.350 --> 00:11:46.970
this new discovery, with the possibility of a

00:11:46.970 --> 00:11:50.379
new particle, a new force, Maybe those old anomalies

00:11:50.379 --> 00:11:52.700
suddenly start to make sense. It's like we're

00:11:52.700 --> 00:11:55.019
piecing together a puzzle and this new piece

00:11:55.019 --> 00:11:57.299
could connect things we never thought were related.

00:11:57.860 --> 00:12:00.539
So where does all this leave us? I think it leaves

00:12:00.539 --> 00:12:02.500
us at a really exciting point in the history

00:12:02.500 --> 00:12:06.299
of science. An AI has potentially made a fundamental

00:12:06.299 --> 00:12:08.980
discovery. A discovery that could change everything.

00:12:09.139 --> 00:12:11.639
And even if it turns out that this particle isn't

00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:14.639
real, even if it's just a fluke. The fact that

00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:17.179
an AI could even make us think this way, that's

00:12:17.179 --> 00:12:20.179
significant. It shows the power of AI, its ability

00:12:20.179 --> 00:12:22.240
to see things we can't. And it makes you wonder,

00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:24.639
what else is out there? What other secrets are

00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:27.279
hiding in the data, just waiting for an AI to

00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:30.279
find them? We're entering a new era of exploration,

00:12:30.860 --> 00:12:33.620
and AI is leading the way. So just to recap,

00:12:34.259 --> 00:12:37.139
Google AI has found something in the data, something

00:12:37.139 --> 00:12:40.000
that looks like a new particle. And if it's real,

00:12:40.259 --> 00:12:42.019
it could revolutionize our understanding of the

00:12:42.019 --> 00:12:44.559
universe. It could mean a new fundamental force,

00:12:45.139 --> 00:12:48.120
new insights into dark matter, and maybe even

00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:51.179
new technologies we can't even imagine yet. The

00:12:51.179 --> 00:12:53.840
scientific community is being cautious, as they

00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:56.600
should be. They're working to verify the findings,

00:12:56.740 --> 00:12:59.419
and that will take time. And there's this fascinating

00:12:59.419 --> 00:13:02.259
historical context, the idea that we might have

00:13:02.259 --> 00:13:04.559
seen hints of this before, but didn't recognize

00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:06.580
them. And I think the biggest takeaway here is

00:13:06.580 --> 00:13:09.039
the role of AI. It's not just a tool anymore.

00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:11.360
It's a partner in discovery. And that's something

00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:14.779
to think about. If AI can make these kinds of

00:13:14.779 --> 00:13:17.350
discoveries in physics. What can it do in other

00:13:17.350 --> 00:13:19.669
fields? What other mysteries can it help us unlock?

00:13:19.929 --> 00:13:21.850
What other secrets of the universe are waiting

00:13:21.850 --> 00:13:22.669
to be found?
