Despite its success, physics is not the ultimate tool to predict and solve all scientific ambitions. One reason might be inherent in its epistemological approach which gave it its success. Some double edged traits of it are
**absence of componential relations i.e does not identify relation of part (with function) to whole
** simplistic direct one on one consequences i.e in cause effect chains there is only one consequence and the complexity of one Act causing in direct reactions that might even lead to different course are omitted. Biology is not like this
**absence of agent relations i.e even force does not identify one objects as agent due to mutual interactive nature of force concept given by Newton
*Regarding the first limitation:
Any action sets of limitless chain of reactions, not a single one.
Its never as simple as A leads to B
Physics, by its one to one association, fails to capture, untill now,the fact that the world is full of unintenddd consequences.
A leads to B, B to C and D and so one.
Or that other physical agents might be pulled into the "physical drama" with unintended consequences.
With Regards to "no componential relations (or function al features) " what I mean is that in the example of the atom, there is no function al role of electrons with regard to the whole or a functional feature.
Physics rests on scenario relations, two objects acquiring a relation via appear g in relational systems in common scenarios i.e wing and airplane in the lift scenario.
Agent relations are absent. Nonobjectbis identified in physics as the agent in the light of a certain relation, something that sounds weird since this is a main notion in cause-effect relations
String Theory is widely regarded as still untestable and is also alleged by some to face issues of mathematical consistency.
Not scaling the law of identity to all sizes, speeds, vibrations and disciplines. While also not adjusting premises upon contradictions. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/381469939_Critical_Rationalist_Physics
In short, physics should become critical rationalist. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/381469939_Critical_Rationalist_Physics
