Science explores directions coherent yet cognitively unavailable to humans
Original: The alien space of science: Coherent but cognitively unavailable directions
A new arXiv paper argues that science occupies an 'alien space': many coherent theoretical directions exist that are internally consistent but cognitively unavailable to human researchers. The work examines why some valid avenues of inquiry remain inaccessible to human intuition and reasoning, sparking discussion among readers about the limits of scientific cognition.
Why now: A newly released arXiv paper makes a provocative claim about inherent cognitive limits on human scientific discovery.
