Star Trek - Next Generation (1987 - 1994) has among the crew Lieutenant Commander Data, an android, who strives to be like humans.
On this quest, Data is introduced to poker, an ongoing game with senior officers. Then later, on the ship's holodeck, Data engages in a game with renowned physicists of the past, whose work contributed to the theories of gravity:
* Sir Isaac Newton: classical theory of gravity
* Albert Einstein: general theory of relativity
* Steven Hawking: black holes

Poker with the masters.
It's an engaging experiment, not only in the laws of nature, but in human nature.
In these days of AI, this experiment is closer than we think.
