“I must say that I am very dissatisfied with the situation because this so-called ’good theory’ does involve neglecting infinities which appear in its equations, ignoring them in an arbitrary way. This is just not sensible mathematics. Sensible mathematics involves disregarding a quantity when it is small – not neglecting it just because it is infinitely great and you do not want it!. ”
"The shell game that we play is technically called ’renormalization’. But no matter how clever the word, it is still what I would call a dippy process! Having to resort to such hocus-pocus has prevented us from proving that the theory of quantum electrodynamics is mathematically self-consistent. It’s surprising that the theory still hasn’t been proved self-consistent one way or the other by now; I suspect that renormalization is not mathematically legitimate.”
The question is where to search for such e.g. Lagrangian? There are already many people having own models developed for decades - AI could help to objectively verify with simulations - building kind of arena for models, to select the ones in the best agreement with nature, identify their best features.
After checking the already available physics models from humans, maybe succeeding would be also AI generated - e.g. combining what was the most successful in the tested models.
