New Computer Determines Conservation Laws Autonomously

This is pretty significant people. This should be like the number one sift. Essentially, this says that a computer can determine fundamental equations of dynamics of very complex systems using network theory. So we can solve problems that were previously thought to be intractable, provided we have all the dependent and independent variables.

A) A computer observes the behavior and dynamics of a real system, and (B) collects data using motion tracking cameras and software. It then automatically searches for equations that describe a natural law relating these variables. (C) Without any prior knowledge about physics, kinematics, or geometry, this algorithm found conservation equations and invariant manifolds that describe the physical laws these systems obey. Pictured, are an actual double pendulum, collected data, and resulting energy conservation law found.
