The kind of science that's going to happen in the more numerical age, or even AI. What does it mean to answer a question? Does it mean that we can predict it? Does it mean that we can reproduce it? I think we're coming up against the definition of what we mean by science as human beings. So in terms of the science that we can do, I don't think we'll know it until we get there.

We're trying to solve hard problems and we've made progress. I mean, if you think of how much science has advanced in the last century or century and a half, it's incredible. I mean, we didn't even know the universe was expanding at the beginning of the 20th century. We didn't know about quantum mechanics at the beginning of the century. We didn't know about special relativity.

That's a lot in a relatively short time, depending on how you think of time. So I think it would be premature to say we know the limitations.

So you could try to jump in and say, I have a theory that I think is so perfect that I can predict everything from it or at least predict some salient features from it.

That would be top-down. Bottom-up is more like the questions we just asked. Why are masses what they are? We measure things. We want to put them together. And usually a good approach is to combine the two. If you ask a very specific question, but combine it with the methods of... knowing that there could be a fundamental theory underlying it. Sometimes you make progress.

I mean, sometimes, you know, the community tends to get segmented or fragmented into people who do one or the other. But there are definitely times, I mean, some of my best collaborations have been with people who are more top-down than I am so that we come up with interesting ideas that we wouldn't have thought of if either one of us was working individually.
