Will computers ever take the position of mathematicians or scientists?

Question

In the future will computers solve problems in physics, or take the place of mathematician or scientists for their job?

Answer 1

they could.

Answer 2

Scientists like biologists, physicists, in other words scientist in experimental sciences,  it will take a long time.

For mathematics,  that is another story.

There are already programs like Mathematica and Maple that can perform complex calculations.

If we can write a program that can write proofs in algebra or calculus or geometry then the job of a mathematician will not be the same.

It is conceivable the such a program might be possible.

in 40 years ...

Answer 3

I really think they could one day.

People are lazy and don't want to strain their brain.

Computers are easy and if you got money in the bank, they're a great investment.

I think the world is going to become extremely dumb if we continue to be so lazy.

Answer 4

It's so very unlikely that no one has even seriously tried.  They use computers for what computers do well.  But little effort has gone into making computers do what scientists do extremely well and computers do extremely poorly.  Abstract thinking, creating, arguing, communicating concepts.
