You and the person's comment above you are missing the point. First watch : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbsqaJwpu6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbsqaJwpu6A (A.I and physics) are quite related and workable ^I reference the above video not because I watched it and thought (hey that makes sense). I reference it because I already felt the same in my work on A.I and felt (wow someone else gets it) Also : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM-zWTU7X-k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM-zWTU7X-k It's good to keep all sorts of working ideas/knowledge in your head when you're working towards solving a problem. All the physics experiments in the world aren't going to give you insight into problems unless you have workable ideas for how to integrate the findings into understanding/knowledge. What people often error in is that you can keep hacking away at and brute force your way to knowledge/understanding ... “A theory can be proved by experiment; but no path leads from experiment to the birth of a theory.” — Albert Einstein Ancient philosophers solved a lot of problems. More than you seem to be giving credit to. It's from their ideas that people knew where to look to 'prove' things. Watch the Feynman video and truly grasp what he is saying.

"All the physics experiments in the world aren't going to give you insight into problems unless you have workable ideas for how to integrate the findings into understanding/knowledge." That's why you need both. You can't solve physics just by thinking about it, and you can't solve it just by doing experiments. And "solving physics" may also involve solving math, chemistry, philosophy and even linguistics (after all "the new physics" may not be describable in our own language, and AI will need to come up with a creative way to explain it to us)
