Feng said the simple physics model gets researchers most of the way there, then the computer optimization is able to account for complexities that the physics equations can鈥檛 handle.

The scientists came up with an 鈥渋ntuitive physics鈥� model by integrating the same inherent knowledge that developmental psychologists think a baby is born with into an AI system.

You can also use physics to model the flight of a tennis ball, and tennis players, if they are any good at all, are rapidly and unconsciously computing in that physics model to figure out where a certain shot is going to end up.

No physics model鈥攏ot even the most complex, nonlocal cellular automaton--can capture my rational and, yes, emotional motives for believing in free will, but that doesn鈥檛 mean these motives lack causal power.

So who would dare to argue that a theoretical 鈥榮ocial physics鈥� model聽鈥� used, among other things, to predict the behaviour of plastic crystals聽鈥� would do a worse job than pollsters and experts at predicting the results of political votes such as this year鈥檚 Brexit referendum and US presidential election?
