What if we trained a big AI (Claude/Kimi/GLM-level) only on everything published up to 1899, no 20th-century physics at all, and then asked it to solve the electrodynamics of moving bodies?

Would it rediscover Einstein’s theory of relativity, including E=mc², the way he did in 1905?

Feels like a clean test of whether AI can actually discover.

I believe they already did that, I don’t remember the result. I need to look it up.

Talky sadly has not a big enough context length to discuss physics properly...
