GPT-6 Astra Solves 59-Year Nuclear Fusion Magnetic Surface Problem in 20 Minutes
Original: 刚刚，GPT-6 Astra推翻59年核聚变猜想！
- GPT-6 Astra solved a 59-year-old nuclear fusion magnetic surface equation problem in approximately 20 minutes.
- The model outputted 'exact analytical solutions' rather than numerical approximations, offering high academic verification value.
- The event suggests that many long-standing fundamental science problems will be rapidly re-examined and potentially broken through by AI.
