Is this a Wolfram alpha type thing?

No. It’s a Max Tegmark type thing.

> Dr. Tegmark and his colleagues showed the network a video of rockets flying around and asked it to predict what would happen from one frame to the next. At the end, the computer was able to discover the essential equations of motion.

That’s how I think humans learn how to catch a ball. Machine learning.

Max Tegmark is brilliant, but he hasn’t been correct yet, despite 30 plus years of trying.
