#Simplicity is no longer a guide for #FrontierScience

For centuries, scientific progress meant #TamingComplexity with #SimpleUnifiedTheories, guided by Occam’s Razor.

#Newton & #Einstein captured vast, intricate systems in just a handful of #ElegantEquations.

But philosopher Eric B. Winsberg, a leading voice on the use of computer simulations in science,
argues we’ve entered a #RevolutionaryNewScientificAge,
in which progress no longer requires crafting simple theories.

Breakthroughs are being powered by #MachineLearning systems like #AlphaFold,
which solve previously intractable problems like #ProteinFolding using #VastDataSets, and no simple, elegant theory at all.

While there may be regions of #Reality in which #TraditionalScientificTheorizing is helpful,
there’s no reason to insist that this applies to reality in its entirety.
