Show HN: I had Claude 3 Opus create a novel physics research paper from scratch [pdf] (ntrpnr.github.io)
2 points by entrep 838 days ago
I started by asking what Einstein did not know, but we know today. Then asking Claude to act as Einstein and come up with a novel theory, based on this output. Then, iterating for several hours: outlining, writing chapters, improving, acting as a professor to review, acting on this feedback and adding citations. I know nothing about the math presented here.

Cost: ~$10

From a quick scan, this reads like a very pure example of crank nonsense. Unified theory of everything with sparse and incoherent math. Lots of describing how revolutionary the theory is, very little actual theory
One day, an AI will generate a truly groundbreaking research paper, and nobody will read it because they've seen too many bogus ones.
