Computer modeling - a new mechanism of discoveries in natural science

Abstract

The paper notes that, on the one hand, the scientific methodology has been enriched with new, previously unknown tools - a personal computer, and on the other hand - all the previous processes of calculations, numerical simulation have been significantly accelerated by orders of magnitude. And, in addition, it was found that due to the permanent interactive communication with a personal computer connected to the world wide web, researchers have new opportunities to search for new effects and phenomena. A new reality of scientific research has emerged - “man-computer-network”. Below are new phenomena discovered exclusively through computer modeling.
