> But neither the NN nor the researcher will be able to give you a rule like: "F=(G m_1 m_2)/(r^2)" to explain the underlying reasons for the object-trajectory dynamics.

Come on, you can just fit the NN numerical outputs with Excel and come up with tentative explanations for both the underlying elegant rule and the science. The point with NN-based science being you are not left guessing much, instead retrofit the NN numerical output and build a coherent narrative with other accepted results.



Without that equation, you cannot build the rocket that goes to the moon, however.


Feeding the retrofitted "blurred" equation to mathematicians and let them come up with tentative exact models, while being almost there already?


Anything that fits within the error bars is viable if you ask me. Whatever works works.


A lot of investors agree with you. Often they get very rich, especially if they head for the beach before the fit breaks down.

On the other hand...
