(Image credit: Denys Semenchenko via Getty Images) A newly developed technique could teach AI algorithms to see the universe with unprecedented clarity — potentially exposing the cracks in our understanding of the cosmos. Our cosmic rulebook, known as the standard cosmological model, has done an unparalleled job of describing the universe, accounting for everything from its accelerating expansion to galaxy formation. But even the best explanations need robust, independent checks, and that's where genetic algorithms come in. But even the most powerful tools have their blind spots. For genetic algorithms, that blind spot has always been about seeing subtle changes in the cosmos. The overall picture might look good, but the derivatives ‪—‬ crucial measurements of how quickly things are changing ‪—‬ get wobbly.…
