Whatever, still news to me. I thought it was neat.

It is also news to me. Thanks, you two, for pointing it out earlier!

so i wonder what crazy shit computers are doing now, 2 years into the future?

haha, nice work ;-]

now they just need to get it to decipher some shit that humans haven't already worked out.

This article isn't really about what it claims to be about, as usual with science journalism.

So they basically just shoved some experimental data from specific experiments with pendulums etc into a computer with some genetic algorithms and it was able to figure out the underlying relationships.

Sort of interesting, but thats not all the 'laws of physics'.

The computer would need apples, cannonballs, feathers, and melons, for that.
