I always said that computer science was going to be the method to complete physics, whether it be finishing the Standard Model or proving finally Dark Matter is fiction, which is why we can't detect it. Maybe it's still not entirely clear, but just trust me.

  Why? Dark matter is a mass measurement anomaly. One way to solve the problem is to show that the original calculations were not anomalous.

  You know its satire by the way it makes you feel.

So actually conducting scientific observations, with computers as the instrument?

  The computer hosts the models. Observing and experimenting with or in digital models reveal physics effectively unattainable with traditional models or real world observation and experimentation.

Good lord no, just no. Computer Science is not going to be the method to "complete physics." "Complete physics" isn't even a sensible phrase. Source: me, (former) physicist.

    The notion that physics can ever be complete is...not even wrong.

      Prove it.

        Prove physics can be completed. There will always be higher energies, or greater or smaller scales to explore.

        If we can account for every phenomenon that occurs within the scales that we can observe then we can probably claim that physics is complete. Unfortunately it seems that even that might be impossible
