An LLM only learns through input text. It doesn't have a first-person 3D experience of the world. So it can't execute physical experiments, or even understand them. It can understand the texts about it, but it can't visualize it, because it doesn't have a visual experience.
And ultimately our physical world is governed by physical processes. So at the fundamentals of physical reality, the LLMs lack understanding. And therefore will stay dependent on humans educating and correcting it.
You might get pretty impressively far with all kinds of techniques, but you can't cross this barrier with just LLMs. If you want to, you have to give it senses like humans to give it an experience of the world, and make it understand these experiences. And sure they're already working on that, but that is a lot harder to create than a comprehensive machine learning algorithm.
