  Given a trajectory governed by unknown forces, our Neural New-Physics Detector (NNPhD) aims to detect new physics. We demonstrate that NNPhD successfully discovers new physics by decomposing the force field into conservative and non-conservative components. We also show how NNPhD coupled with an integrator outperforms previous methods for predicting the future of a damped double pendulum.
