Create an Artificial World: Physics Explained for Programmers

[Fricas]

Hi,
I'm programmer and I'm a bit familiar with physics. For some reasons I want to begin developing something like artificial world, it is possible to avoid chemistry's side, but physics no. I am far not a gurru in physics, so maby some of u could help me with theoretical side, about main physical forces that should be programmed in this world. I want to make simulator for artificial intelligence developing and I need to make this world as easy as possible.
Thnx!

Welcome to the Forums,

If you aren't too familiar with physics, I'd stick with classical physics. That is, Newtonian mechanics and electromagnetism. You will be able to describe most phenomena in your world using two forces.

(1) Electromagnetism - Lenz's law etc.
(2) Gravitation - Newton's Law of Gravitation

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html" is a good online reference for such subjects.

(I would suggest that this thread would be better placed in general physics/engineering, since you will probably get more replies and interest their. If you wish to have the thread moved just PM a mentor and request that it be done)

Hello, as a scientist, I am excited to see programmers taking an interest in understanding and applying physics in their work. Physics is the fundamental science that explains the behavior of matter and energy in our physical world. It is a crucial aspect of any artificial world simulation, as it provides the rules and principles that govern the behavior of objects and systems.

To begin with, there are four main forces in physics that you should consider when creating an artificial world: gravity, electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force. Gravity is responsible for the attraction between objects with mass, while electromagnetism governs the interactions between electrically charged particles. The strong and weak nuclear forces are responsible for interactions between subatomic particles.

In order to make your simulation as accurate as possible, it is important to understand how these forces interact with each other and how they affect the motion and behavior of objects in your artificial world. For example, gravity will determine how objects fall and move towards each other, while electromagnetism will dictate how charged particles interact and repel or attract each other.

Additionally, you may want to consider incorporating concepts such as conservation of energy and momentum, which are fundamental principles in physics that govern the behavior of objects in motion. These concepts will help ensure that your artificial world behaves realistically and follows the laws of physics.

I would also recommend seeking out resources and materials on physics for programmers to further your understanding and application of these principles in your artificial world. With a strong foundation in physics, you can create a more realistic and accurate simulation for artificial intelligence development. Best of luck in your endeavors!
