Can we imagine that scientific can still discover some basic simple but essential geometric rules such as the Pythagorean theorem in a near of far future:
$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$
Or do we consider that the future of discovery in mathematic, geometry and physic only rely on heavy computational models ?
I mean, is it possible to imagine that a man with some books and a brain (no computer for simluation, or heavy equipement) can still discover essential stuffs that have never been discovered, such as Euclide, Thales or Pythogore did in the past ?
