By approximately 2027-2028, collaborative AI programs will essentially 'solve physics' — unifying general relativity and quantum mechanics into a new mathematical framework; the core mission of DeepMind is to 'first solve AI, then use AI to solve everything else'. | First AI-produced theoretical-physics paper with novel predictions

Key catalyst: First AI-produced theoretical-physics paper with novel predictions

Watch events: AI-produced theoretical-physics publications; Nobel in Physics for AI-coauthored work

No AI system has demonstrated genuine physics-unification capabilities; DeepMind AlphaQubit / Gemini mathematical reasoning gains real but far from Grand Unified Theory.

No probability history yet. The first evidence will arrive via /api/intake or the daily milestone sweep / weekly LBP run.

No propagation data yet. Run inference/.venv/bin/python scripts/ops/run_loopy_belief_propagation.py on the droplet, or wait for the Sunday 02:00 UTC weekly cron.
