What will happen when science develops to such a level that scientific works become impossible to understand?

Sooner or later, humanity will reach a stage where scientific concepts and theories will grow so large that they will be impossible to understand in their entirety. The human mind will only be able to grasp the many fragmented parts of these concepts/theories/technologies, and the only measure of their effectiveness will be their coherence and consistency, but ur mind won't be able to put them together into a single whole, u simply won't be able to remember it. It's like a man without memory walking through a labyrinth and trying to get out of it by placing flags/leaflets and following these algorithms, but he can't model the labyrinth space in his head. That is, he is guided not by the whole picture but by fragments, following the clues left behind

Nah scientists can still fully understand their work. Even Perelman's proof of the Poincaré conjecture, the most cumbersome and complex to date, has been learned and understood by many ppl
