Original: The alien space of science: Coherent but cognitively unavailable directions

The discussion so far centres on the paper's abstract and its philosophical implications for how scientific progress relates to human cognition.
Why now: A new arXiv paper on the limits of human cognition in science has drawn attention from readers interested in philosophy of science
