Hi! I have been wondering about how to build a model that learns to infer the physics of environments from its input.

More specifically: how to build a model that takes input videos of, let’s say, objects falling down ( a glass being pushed from a table, an apple falling from a tree, etc.) and then makes the inference that things tend to fall to the ground? The model does not have to figure out any mathematical formula for calculating the gravitational force. Learning the common sense physics as humans do is what I am primarily interested in.

Has anyone come across research that addresses this problem or a similar problem? I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks in advance! 🙂
