Codex helps Chi-kwan Chan to refine and test algorithms that simulate the movement of electrons and ions around a black hole.

How an astrophysicist uses Codex to help simulate black holes

TL;DR

  • Astrophysicist Chi-kwan Chan uses Codex to help simulate black hole environments.
  • Current simulations are limited by computing power and algorithms, especially for modeling diffuse plasma.
  • Codex assists in deriving and testing new mathematical algorithms for particle motion around black holes.
  • The goal is to simulate trillions of particles, allowing study of previously inaccessible physics.
  • AI is seen as a tool for accelerating discovery through rigorous testing and reproducibility.
