Understanding the Limitations of Physics and Chemistry
19:26 - 28:57 (09:31)
Explore the limitations of physics and chemistry with the realization that while these sciences may uncover the underlying rules and mechanisms that govern the behavior of matter and energy in our world, they do not explain the abstract constructs of human societies and the human mind.

The probing nature of physics and chemistry can only go so far, and the abstractions formed on top of them can't be fully understood by simply monkeying around with materials through experimentation.

Summary
The probing nature of physics and chemistry can only go so far, and the abstractions formed on top of them can't be fully understood by simply monkeying around with materials through experimentation. The concept of a theory of everything in physics only provides a limited understanding of the complexities of the natural world.
