I wonder Eureqa can now find formulas out of data.
what if a program had hundreds of known formulas, and some constants
would it then next be possible to find new formulas. If it could be
explained all math and physics formulas including quantum-mechanics,
entropy, statistics, string theory etc etc.. Would it be then able to
solve problems like define gravity, what is it ?
Or find any other new kind of math
So not only by data analysis but also formula analysis; maybe a mix of
IBM johnson knowledge builder, and Eureqa
As currently so many complex math and physics exist, while new things
often arive after people from different fields combine or exchange
knowledge, could such process be automated ?

This is exactly what Eureqa/Formulize are designed to do. A major task in many fields of science is characterizing phenomena and relations mathematically, and Eureqa helps by finding the most parsimonious models that agree with raw data.
It's still a major task though to pick what to model, and the framework to model with (e.g. the mathematical building-blocks), and of course, to choose and analyze a final model. These still require a lot of human expertise. But it's an blossoming area of research.
