Default Theoretical Physics Is Getting Suppressed by AI

Criticizing (and advocating as well) Einstein's relativity is getting more and more pointless. The scientific community is going to shunt around dead fundamental physics (relativity, thermodynamics, cosmology) by means of AI:

Chris Anderson: The End of Theory: The Data Deluge Makes the Scientific Method Obsolete https://wired.com/2008/06/pb-theory/

"Quantum computers and AI are ALREADY the future of cosmology/string theory/multiverse/knot theory… whatever field you prefer. Theoretical physics, as has been done/studied up till now... is at the verge of a massive paradigm shift. I know there are a couple of radicals out there (some are string theorists pretty well known in this blog, especially one of them from Central Europe...) who still believe that men alone will find that final TOE (which they consider to be ST itself!), but... sorry for them. It’s not going to happen as they expect. Not a snowball’s chance in hell!! The field is screwed without the help of that powerful technology. And contrary to what some top theoretical physicists go about saying that it’s a great time to become a theoretical physics student, well... ********." https://math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=11961
