"intelligence explosion" is also limited by the physical world. AI won't be able to come up with a better understanding of physics simply by reading academic journals. Yes it might have some good ideas, and find some of the stuff we're missing by simply connecting the dots, but that in no way will cause "intelligence explosion". Just think how much money and time we have to spend to test just a few of all of the theories in physics. And no, AI will not be able to suddenly come up with better theories simply by simulating physical world.
