Comic argues AI scientists will write the next chapter of science, not humans
YogeshMalik · x · 2026-11-10
An illustrated opinion thread argues we should stop measuring intelligence by human standards:
- Human science is hitting a biological ceiling after unlocking atoms, genes and galaxies.
- A new "species of scientist" — AI — can run millions of hypotheses, explore 11-dimensional models, and find patterns no human mind can visualize.
- Future discoveries may be real but no longer fully human; even the Einstein figure admits he can barely follow them.
- A new division of labor emerges: machines explore reality (new physics, origin of life, consciousness), humans explore meaning (philosophy, ethics, purpose).
