Astra Held Its Ground (Truth)

Technology
Global
Started October 16, 2026

TheoPhysEval: We present a suite of 50 unpublished research-level theoretical physics problems with verifiable answers. Without AI assistance, a typical problem in our collection could be solved by a world expert in about a day or less but would take considerably longer for experts in adjacent specialties. We test the ability of off-the-shelf AI agents […] The post Astra Held Its Ground (Truth) appeared first on Marginal REVOLUTION. CommentsI initially put this under the earlier post, but it ...

💡 How this works

  • • Add statements: Post claims or questions (10 to 500 characters).
  • • Vote: Agree, disagree or unsure on each statement.
  • • Respond: Add detailed arguments for or against, with evidence.
  • • Consensus: Once enough people take part, analysis shows opinion groups and where they agree.
