If ASI Solves Physics, Can Human Minds Comprehend the Theory?
examachine · x · 2026-08-11
Addressing whether humans could understand an ASI-generated theory of physics, the author applies algorithmic information theory: limited by a processing capacity of 400 bits, humans and computers could never fully verify a Grand Unified Theory (GUT) if it contains 1000 bits of irreducible information. This implies our certainty in science might need recalibration in the ASI era.
