Can an LLM discover a new theory of natural law, such as prove or disprove string theory? This is what I ponder. The creation or discovery of something new that it can’t just copy, that would have to be discovered via human thought otherwise. Something provably true. The equivalent of discovering general relativity before humans had.

I mean the vast vast majority of people cannot prove/disprove theorems either, but we still consider ourselves as intelligent.

I’m not demanding it discover new science before it can be called intelligent. It’s a thought experiment.

I feel like there is likely far more useful answers in overlooked science then there is in "new" science.
