Open Question: do we think that we basically understand all the laws of nature at this point?<p>If that were true, we should expect few new fundamental breakthroughs... ever. We will simply explore the vast combinatorial space of what is possible within these laws, essentially remixing the 20th century forever.<p>I am personally skeptical of this. I think it might be an illusion created by dogmatizing what we have now and being a bit too satisfied with that. Same thing happened with the wisdom of the greeks, taking us over a thousand years to finally realize heavier objects don&#x27;t fall faster.
