Which asks the question of what knowledge is. Can knowledge be super human ? Or is knowledge a human matter ? If so (like i believe), then what those ai labs are doing is far from the end of the story. Because the goal of science is not to produce a certificate of something, but more to produce an explanation that can fit in a human brain, that can be reasoned on, and that can be retargeted. In this sense, producing a million lines proof is not really producing knowledge, even less so doing science.
- michaeljx 8d agoKnowing something is proven true is knowledge, even if the mechanics of the proof are not understood.
- trolleski 7d agoIn maths, you go through proofs every step of the way. Same in physics, you start by performing even the most basic experiments, and build your way up.
- rented_mule 8d agoIf the mechanics of the proof are not understood, how do we know it's been proven? Math proofs are not a "trust me, bro" kind of thing.
- uargos 7d agoIt's not knowledge, it's belief.
- curt15 7d agoSuppose there is an oracle that can tell you whether a particular result in maths or physics is true. Would research still have any value?
