We see our hand touch a pane of glass. We can use a magnifying glass to see this same action at the 'dermis' level. Using a microscope, we can see the same action at the tissue and also the cellular levels. Using an electron microscope we can see the same action at the protein and macro-molecule levels... and so on down to the atomic level (and supposedly beyond). Different areas of science focus on these multiple levels, without reverting to causes on the 'particle' level. However 'physics' appears to believe that all causes, all actions begin at the lowest level. Shouldn't a holistic view of reality include all levels, with actions occurring at all levels simultaneously?
