Great take!

Here is a question: do you think ML models will ever replace scientific theory, especially those areas of science where the human brain may be inherently limited to explore? In other words, instead of descriptive equations showing how dark energy works, could ML take its place without the need for us to explain how dark energy exactly works, especially if we can make accurate predictions using that ML model about dark energy?

Predictive models teach us a lot about the system we are observing. My fair value bitcoin model does a poor job of predicting price, but it teaches us a lot about the human emotions behind market prices.
