About this Event
A Conversation on Artificial Intelligence, Mathematics, and the Mysteries of the Universe
Join a theoretical physicist for Can AI Solve the Unsolvable: The Future of Discovery, an accessible look at one of mathematics’ most famous problems and what happens when AI starts tackling questions that have challenged some of the world’s greatest thinkers. We’ll explore how AI is changing the way we approach complex problems in mathematics and physics, what these breakthroughs can (and can’t) tell us about the universe, and whether machines might ultimately change the way we understand discovery itself.
What We'll Cover:
• The Navier-Stokes problem - Explore the equations that describe the motion of fluids and why one of their biggest unanswered questions has challenged mathematicians for generations.
• AI and scientific discovery - Look at how AI is beginning to contribute to mathematical and scientific research, from solving complex problems to generating and testing new ideas.
• Who gets the credit? - Consider what authorship, creativity, and scientific discovery mean when humans and AI work together.
Whether you're fascinated by physics, curious about artificial intelligence, or simply wondering what the future of discovery looks like, this conversation will offer a new perspective on the changing relationship between humans, machines, and science.
Don't miss this chance to connect with your After5Society.
About The Speaker:
Bhavay Tyagi is a theoretical physicist from India, currently based in Houston, whose research focuses on quantum many body systems and quantum chaos. He has contributed to research at Los Alamos National Laboratory and continues to explore some of the most complex and fundamental questions in physics. Beyond his research, Bhavay is deeply interested in the philosophy of physics and the role of creativity in scientific progress, especially in an era shaped by artificial intelligence. He is actively engaged in the physics community through journal clubs, science policy, and public engagement, and he creates content aimed at making deep scientific ideas more accessible and thought provoking. His perspective emphasizes that progress in physics is not just about technical skill, but about originality, curiosity, and the willingness to challenge boundaries.
