I just add this conversation with GPT


ME: If adding up the three moments of inertias about the x, y and z

axis yields a spherically symmetric expression can the moment of
inertia formula be derived by simply using a one dimensional integral
over the radius?

GPT: "Yes, that's correct. Once we have established that the moment of
inertia of a solid sphere is spherically symmetric, we can compute it
using a one-dimensional integral over the radius. Specifically, the
moment of inertia of a solid sphere of radius R and mass M about an
axis passing through its center is given by:

I = (2/5) MR^2

This formula can be derived by integrating the spherically symmetric
expression for the moment of inertia over the volume of the sphere
using spherical coordinates, which simplifies the calculation to a
one-dimensional integral over the radius. Here's how the derivation
goes:

The moment of inertia of a solid sphere of radius R and mass M about
an axis passing through its center is given by:

I = ∫∫ (r^2 sin^2θ) ρ dV

where ρ is the density and dV is the volume element in spherical
coordinates. Since the sphere has uniform density, we can write ρ = M
/ (4/3 * π * R^3).Using the fact that the integrand is spherically
symmetric, we can write:

I = ∫∫∫ (r^2 sin^2θ) ρ dV = ρ ∫∫∫ (r^2 sin^2θ) r^2 sin
θ dr dθ dφ

Substituting in the expression for ρ and using the fact that the
integral is spherically symmetric, we can simplify the integral to:

I = (3/5) MR^2 ∫∫ sin^3θ dθ dφ

The integral over θ and φ can be evaluated to give:

∫∫ sin^3θ dθ dφ = 4π/3

Substituting this into the expression for I, we get:

I = (2/5) MR^2
THEREFORE, THE MOMENT OF INERTIA OF A SOLID SPHERE ABOUT AN AXIS
PASSING THROUGH ITS CENTER CAN BE DERIVED BY SIMPLY USING A
ONE-DIMENSIONAL INTEGRAL OVER THE RADIUS, AND IS GIVEN BY (2/5) MR^2."

The issue is that GPT keeps on doing the derivation in the same way 
where the symmetry is broken by the choice of the axis and it then ends 
up with the integral over theta, phi and r and after doing the 
trigonometric integral it says that there is only an integral over r 
left.


But if you just write down the formula for Ix + Iy + Iz then because for 
Ik  you need to integrate r^2 - distance along kth axis^2, we have to 
integrate 3 r^2 - (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) = 2 r^2. So, the integrand is now 
spherically symmetric as a result of having added up the moment of 
inertia in 3 orthogonal directions. Since these moments of inertia are 
all equal due to spherical symmetry, we have that 3 times the moment of 
inertia is 2 times the integral of r^2, therefore we have:


Iz = 2/3 integral over ball of radius R of r^2 dm

You can then write dm = rho 4 pi r^2 dr and only have an integral over r 
from 0 to R. Even this can be simplified by dividing Iz by M, so that we 
get:


Iz/M = 2/[3 V(R)] Integral over ball of radius R of r^2 dV

We can then insert V(R) = 4/3 pi R^3 and dV = 4 pi r^2 dr and integrate 
over r, but we don't even need to do that. We can simply use the fact 
that V(r) is some constant c times r^3 without bothering to write down 
that constant explicitly:


 Integral over ball of radius R of r^2 dV

= Integral over ball of radius R of d[r^2 V(r)] -  Integral over ball of 
radius R of 2 r V(r) dr =



R^2 V(R) -  2/5 c R^5 = 3/5 R^2 V(R)

So, we have Iz/M = 2/[3 V(R)] 3/5 R^2 V(R) = 2/5 R^2



So, in the entire derivation I only needed to integrate over the radius 
r. That's the whole point of restoring spherical symmetry. Otherwise you 
end up having to evaluate integrals over the angles defined relative to 
the rotation axis. ChatGPT can only do the latter because in its 
database there is only a derivation based on the latter logic presented. 
While there are spruce's in its database that discuss spherical symmetry 
for this case, it can only then talk about that, it is unable to 
actually

many ways to do this, but I've not seen my favorite way of doing this on
any webpage, which is to restore spherical symmetry by adding up the
three identical moments of inertia relative to 3 orthogonal axes.

I just send this to GPT: 
Me: Derive the formula for the moment of inertia (relative to an axis through 
the center) of a ball of uniform density of radius R and mass M by adding up 
the three identical moments of inertia relative to 3 orthogonal axes and 
restoring spherical symmetry.

And in less than three seconds it gave me this: 
GPT: To derive the formula for the moment of inertia of a ball of uniform 
density, we will start by finding the moment of inertia relative to three 
orthogonal axes passing through the center of the ball. Let's call these axes 
x, y, and z.

The moment of inertia of a point mass m relative to an axis at a distance r 
from the mass is given by:

I = m * r^2

For a solid sphere of uniform density, we can divide it into small volume 
elements, each with mass dm. The volume element located at a distance r from 
the center of the sphere has a moment of inertia relative to the x-axis given 
by:

dIx = dm * y^2

Similarly, the moment of inertia of this volume element relative to the y-axis 
is:

dIy = dm * x^2

The moment of inertia relative to the z-axis is:

dIz = dm * r^2

where r is the distance from the center of the sphere to the volume element.

We can express the differential mass element dm in terms of the density ρ and 
the volume element dV:

dm = ρ * dV

For a sphere of radius R, the volume element is:

dV = 4/3 * π * r^2 * dr

Substituting dm and dV into the expressions for dIx, dIy, and dIz, and 
integrating over the volume of the sphere, we get:

Ix = ∫∫∫ y^2 * ρ * (4/3 * π * r^2 * dr) dV

Iy = ∫∫∫ x^2 * ρ * (4/3 * π * r^2 * dr) dV

Iz = ∫∫∫ r^2 * ρ * (4/3 * π * r^2 * dr) dV

where the limits of integration are:

0 ≤ r ≤ R, 0 ≤ θ ≤ π, 0 ≤ φ ≤ 2π

To simplify these integrals, we can use spherical coordinates, where x = r sin 
θ cos φ, y = r sin θ sin φ, and z = r cos θ. The volume element in spherical 
coordinates is:

dV = r^2 sin θ dr dθ dφ

Substituting this into the expressions for Ix, Iy, and Iz, we get:

Ix = 2/5 * M * R^2

Iy = 2/5 * M * R^2

Iz = 2/5 * M * R^2

where M is the mass of the sphere, given by:

M = ρ * V = 4/3 * π * R^3 * ρ

where V is the volume of the sphere.

Note that Ix = Iy, since the sphere has spherical symmetry, and the moments of 
inertia relative to any two orthogonal axes in a plane perpendicular to the 
third axis are equal. Therefore, the moment of inertia of a sphere of uniform 
density relative to an axis through the center is:

I = 2/5 * M * R^2

which is the desired formula.

I asked  GPT to take a second look at the part where it said  "dIx = dm * y^2". 
I did NOT say it was wrong or it had made an error of any kind, I just asked it

for the moment of inertia of a small volume element relative to the x-axis is:

This takes into account the fact that the mass element is not necessarily 
located on the y-axis, but rather at a distance y from the x-axis and at a 
distance z from the z-axis. Similarly, the moment of inertia of a small volume 
element relative to the y-axis is:

dIy = dm * (x^2 + z^2) and the moment of inertia of a small volume element 
relative to the z-axis is:

I hope this clarifies the issue. Thank you for bringing it to my attention."

GPT: To derive the formula for the moment of inertia of a ball of
uniform density, we will start by finding the moment of inertia
relative to three orthogonal axes passing through the center of the
ball. Let's call these axes x, y, and z.

The moment of inertia of a point mass m relative to an axis at a
distance r from the mass is given by:

I = m * r^2

For a solid sphere of uniform density, we can divide it into small
volume elements, each with mass dm. The volume element located at a
distance r from the center of the sphere has a moment of inertia
relative to the x-axis given by:

dIx = dm * y^2


dIx = dm * (y^2 + z^2)

I'm guessing GPT found the formula for the disk in its database and used 
that here


Similarly, the moment of inertia of this volume element relative to
the y-axis is:

dIy = dm * x^2


dIy = dm * (x^2 + z^2)




The moment of inertia relative to the z-axis is:

dIz = dm * r^2



dIz = dm * (x^2 + y^2)


Not r^2 but it's r^2 for a disk wth the z-axis orthogonal to the plane 
of a disk.



where r is the distance from the center of the sphere to the volume
element.

We can express the differential mass element dm in terms of the
density ρ and the volume element dV:

dm = ρ * dV

For a sphere of radius R, the volume element is:

dV = 4/3 * π * r^2 * dr

Substituting dm and dV into the expressions for dIx, dIy, and dIz, and
integrating over the volume of the sphere, we get:

Ix = ∫∫∫ y^2 * ρ * (4/3 * π * r^2 * dr) dV

Iy = ∫∫∫ x^2 * ρ * (4/3 * π * r^2 * dr) dV

Iz = ∫∫∫ r^2 * ρ * (4/3 * π * r^2 * dr) dV

where the limits of integration are:

0 ≤ r ≤ R, 0 ≤ θ ≤ π, 0 ≤ φ ≤ 2π

To simplify these integrals, we can use spherical coordinates, where x
= r sin θ cos φ, y = r sin θ sin φ, and z = r cos θ. The volume
element in spherical coordinates is:

dV = r^2 sin θ dr dθ dφ

Substituting this into the expressions for Ix, Iy, and Iz, we get:

Ix = 2/5 * M * R^2

Iy = 2/5 * M * R^2

Iz = 2/5 * M * R^2


Using the correct formula's that would be the results. But even then 
that's not doing the problem with restrig spehrical symmetry.





where M is the mass of the sphere, given by:

M = ρ * V = 4/3 * π * R^3 * ρ

where V is the volume of the sphere.

Note that Ix = Iy, since the sphere has spherical symmetry, and the
moments of inertia relative to any two orthogonal axes in a plane
perpendicular to the third axis are equal. Therefore, the moment of
inertia of a sphere of uniform density relative to an axis through the
center is:

I = 2/5 * M * R^2

which is the desired formula.

GPT used its language skills to morph the standard proof into a poem. It 
is good enough on language to reformulate the text so that its meaning 
doesn't change, but that doesn't imply that it has a good understanding 
of the text.


To test GPT's math skills you need to get it do produce a result that is 
not in its database. The fact that GPT fail at simple arithmetic betrays 
that GPT doesn't understand math. It doesn't have the answers to all 
simple sums in its database and therefore it cannot reproduce such 
results.


I don't have a lot of time to test GPT myself, but you should try the 
following. For some simple physics or math result consider different 
ways of getting to that result where one of these ways is not widely 
published and is likely not in GPT's database. Take e.g. different ways 
of computing the moment of inertia of a ball of uniform density of 
radius R and mass M (relative to an axis through the center). There are 
many ways to do this, but I've not seen my favorite way of doing this on 
any webpage, which is to restore spherical symmetry by adding up the 
three identical moments of inertia relative to 3 orthogonal axes.


Because you are integrating over the square of the distance to each axis 
which is the square of the distance to the origin minus the square of 
the coordinate along that axis, the sum becomes the integral of 2 times 
the squared distance to the center. So, the moment of inertia of a ball 
is given by:


2/3 M integral from 0 to R of 4 pi r^4 dr / (4/3 pi R^3) = 2/5 M R^2

So, we get to a simple one-line derivation that's so simple that I can 
easily do it in my head. But this may not be in GPT's database, and if 
it's not then GPT will fail to reproduce this very simple result while 
it will have no difficulties spewing out the more complex derivations, 
formulate those as poems etc. etc.


There are quite a few of such cases where you have a widely published 
result which is more complicated than the most efficient way of getting 
to that result but with that more efficient way not being widely 
published, so many tests like this van be done.

Now, I do think that GPT is a great leap forward, I don't want to

that such systems are approaching human level cognition. The human 
brain is an enormously powerful system, but we don't have free access 
to use the power of our brains to do whatever we want. For example, 
most people cannot multiply two 5 digit numbers in their head, but a 
simple pocket calculator has no problems with that task.


However, some autistic savants do have more of a privileged access to 
use the power of the our brains to do arithmetic. Some of them can do 
calculations that most other people cannot do. In certain tests 
involving magnetic stimulation or inhibition of certain brain parts 
performed on ordinary people, it has been shown that people can 
temporarily gain certain abilities that they normally don't have. For 
example, if you look at a screen with a few hundreds dots on it, can 
you count the number of displayed dots in one second? Most people 
can't, some autistic savants can do this. But in the
experiment with magnetic stimulation or inhibition, the test subjects 
were also able to do this.


When we are consciously using our brains doing complicated things e.g. 
mathematics, then we are using our brains in an extremely inefficient 
way. If we could have an artificial brain similar to our brain but one 
which is completely dedicated to doing mathematics instead of what our 
brains are dedicated to do, then it would be enormously better at math 
than we are. It's then likely that something like the brain of a 
lizard that is fully dedicated to math would already completely 
outclass the world's best mathematicians. Perhaps even the brain of 
insects could perform at the same level of most mathematicians when 
fully dedicated to doing math.

that such systems are approaching human level cognition. The human 
brain is an enormously powerful system, but we don't have free access 
to use the power of our brains to do whatever we want. For example, 
most people cannot multiply two 5 digit numbers in their head, but a 
simple pocket calculator has no problems with that task.

use the power of the our brains to do arithmetic. Some of them can do 
calculations that most other people cannot do. In certain tests 
involving magnetic stimulation or inhibition of certain brain parts 
performed on ordinary people, it has been shown that people can 
temporarily gain certain abilities that they normally don't have. For 
example, if you look at a screen with a few hundreds dots on it, can 
you count the number of displayed dots in one second? Most people 
can't, some autistic savants can do this. But in the
experiment with magnetic stimulation or inhibition, the test subjects 
were also able to do this.


When we are consciously using our brains doing complicated things e.g. 
mathematics, then we are using our brains in an extremely inefficient 
way. If we could have an artificial brain similar to our brain but one 
which is completely dedicated to doing mathematics instead of what our 
brains are dedicated to do, then it would be enormously better at math 
than we are. It's then likely that something like the brain of a 
lizard that is fully dedicated to math would already completely 
outclass the world's best mathematicians. Perhaps even the brain of 
insects could perform at the same level of most mathematicians when 
fully dedicated to doing math.

Re: GPT4 + Mathematica

2023-04-02 Thread smitra
While GPT hooked up to Mathematica may greatly improve its performance, 
I would not be impressed when judging that in  terms of approaching 
human level cognition.


A long time ago I was teaching a statistical mechanics class, the 
students had to do a certain calculation for homework that involved 
doing the series expansion of 1/sinh(x) to order x. I was shocked to see 
that none of the students could do it. But some did come up with the 
right answer, they had shown some failed attempts and then wrote that 
they used Mathematica and Mathematica says that the answer is  1/x - x/6 
...


The students couldn't do it because they could not use the Taylor 
expansion formula due to the singularity at x = 0. Most  students had 
not bothered to think about how to bypass that problem, otherwise at 
least a few would have written down the correct derivation:


1/sinh(x) = 1/(x + x^3/6 +...) = 1/x 1/(1 + x^2/6 + ...) = 1/x (1 - 
x^2/6 + ...) = 1/x - x/6 +...



Now, I do think that GPT is a great leap forward, I don't want to 
downplay the progress made. But I'm quite skeptical about the idea that 
such systems are approaching human level cognition. The human brain is 
an enormously powerful system, but we don't have free access to use the

If you upgrade please tell us about it, I'd love to know your opinion of it.

I have a very old version of Mathematica. I suppose I would have to buy the 
new version to make this happen.
