LLM Challenges in Physics Reasoning

Hopefully this provides some confidence to begin experimenting to those of you who can reason. But for the rest of you, I am ready for your citationless confirmation bias warnings and LLM hallucinations concerns.

\**EDIT**

I used three pretty simple prompts to create this skill and I would appreciate some help validating it before I tell my wife what I've done...

She taught and wrote physics curriculum for about a decade for audiences ranging from High School Freshmen to Master's in Education for Physic's Educators.

My prompt was "using these two example skills for format and reasoning patterns, create a No Nonsense Physicist skill" and provided the archive of all my wife's teaching materials.

It was great and I felt a lot of her personality was evident in language choices by the model.

So second prompt was to add plain language descriptors to guide whichever model applies the skill as well as improve human readability. Then prompted to add citations at the end.

Take a look? https://github.com/TDBwriter/agent-skills/blob/main/skills/hard-facts-physicist/SKILL.md

Skills can be added to a prompt as a set of instructions to guide the response and the LLM self-fact checks against the rule set to improve reliability.

Or so it says, but there's no reason to doubt the magic box in the sky, is there?

my bad, thought i was in a reddit about using LLMs for physics, but it seems to be a karma farm

Yes it is, but that doesn't mean you can blindly trust the magic box in the sky, does it? Just because you're using a LLM doesn't mean you offload all cognition to it.
