AI uncovers the universe's 'settings' with unprecedented precision, and it could help to resolve the Hubble tension

Scientists use six cosmological parameters to describe the large-scale makeup of our universe….Getting precise estimates of these numbers is important for understanding how our universe began and how it will evolve…By applying AI to the problem, the researchers were able to extract numbers for the parameters across smaller scales, yielding a result for our universe's matter clumping that had less than half the uncertainty of previous results.
