Ariel Fernandez’s latest book is titled “Artificial Intelligence on Dark Matter and Dark Energy: Reverse Engineering of the Big Bang”. This book deals with one of the deepest mysteries of the cosmos: the existence of matter that goes undetected but affects the large-scale structure and dynamics of the universe.

Stars revolve around the center of galaxies seemingly out of control, and the accelerated expansion of the universe describes a runaway behavior at odds with the laws of physics as applied to detectable matter. The book by Ariel Fernandez helps alleviate this crisis. It resorts to artificial intelligence for answers and describes the outcome of this quest in terms of a quintessential compact and multiply connected space that incorporates a fifth dimension to encode space-time as a latent manifold.

   As Ariel Fernandez points out, at the largest cosmic scales, the vast majority of matter and movement goes unaccounted. The implication is that there is a colossal surplus of dark matter and dark energy that cannot be detected. Since humans don’t have a clue, why not prod AI for answers?

   As Ariel Fernandez has noted, AI is bolder than humans because the huge corpus of knowledge, starting with the wondrous Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, poses no burden to its conjecture-framing processes. Why not feed AI with the SM enriched by the “anomalous” cosmological phenomenology on dark matter and dark energy and see where AI takes us vis-à-vis reconciling the conflictive data with the laws of physics? This is precisely the intellectual adventure described by Ariel Fernandez in his book and – to the best of our knowledge – in no other book available today.
