Thanks for replying. I think I can see where our disagreement is. I’m afraid the way science has worked so far may not be the case in the future. Somehow we have arrived at *almost right laws only from pure thought. Reality may be way more complicated which we may only be able to figure out by acquiring more data.

I think yes. I am assuming only, let’s say, an oscillatory behaviour with a time period T = a billion years. Observing this phenomenon itself should take us that much time, and it is distinct from the problem of induction, at least in this case.
One reason advanced AI might not be able to figure out “all the physics” is that the observation and analysis of “laws of universe” may not be constrained by intelligence but rather time. It could be the case that there are some regular patterns periodic in billions of years. Intelligence would not be able to do much, in this case.
I am also equally annoyed at things evolution didn’t fix. One such thing that I’m particularly caring these days is the usage of scrotum supporters/tightees while running. I find them really tight and, obviously annoying. I just wonder why evolution didn’t fix the problems caused due to running naked when we did that for millions of years.
Ah, this is so lovely and true. In retrospect, I also want my parents to be less stressed and sad when dealing with us or other things when we were kids. Seeing parents stressed and worried (for whatever reason) always broke our hearts.
I would be *very surprised if it turned out to be true, but I grant that you could be correct, although I would assign a very low probability to it.
