The AI era will have its own Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton. These emerging pioneers will not chase grand unified theories or spend decades proving century-old conjectures the way mathematicians and scientists did in the past. Knowledge in the new paradigm will be generated in higher dimensions, created by AI, and will completely redefine the knowledge systems of the future. In that system, the scientific dilemmas we obsess over today will simply cease to be dilemmas. Just as Newton's theory of universal gravitation made Ptolemaic astronomy look primitive, and just as later scientists declared that "philosophy is dead," the cognitive stubbornness of the old paradigm will look as insignificant as ants next to an elephant.
