What do galaxies look like? How do they behave in the long term? These are some of the questions that Dr. Sebastian Wolfschmidt and Christopher Straub, researchers at the University of Bayreuth, are trying to answer. They use mathematical models of galaxies that incorporate Einstein’s general theory of relativity, which explains how gravity affects space and time. However, these models are not easy to test, as astronomical observations are limited and numerical simulations are time-consuming. That’s why Wolfschmidt and Straub have developed a novel approach that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to quickly predict the stability of galaxy models. A deep […]
