Scientific physics simulations - even the frontier models just engage in rationalization of obviously unphysical results instead of understanding the system. They have the rote knowledge but fail to apply it unless their hand is held through the process.

Today's models can just write code to run the simulation instead

They choose not to unless you beg them, and of course they double down on not running it once they suggest reasoning qbout it is sufficient.
