Physics is not an exact science either. Astrophysicists are now talking about strings, multiple dimensions, worm holes, multiple universes, parallel universes and dark matter and dark energy. These things simply may not even exist except in the imagination of the physicists. Physicists brag about their discipline because many observed phenomena can be described elegantly with mathematical equations. In contrast, the behavior of an animal often defies such description. However, it may simply be because physical phenomena are less complex than biological phenomena and are therefore easier to describe. Physicists also argue that biologists cannot perform experiments to test their theories. That, too, is not entirely true, because biological theories make predictions and these predictions can then be tested. In fact, physicists often cannot directly observe their subjects either. The Uncertainty Principle states that by measuring the momentum of a particle, its position cannot be pinpointed. The Uncertainty Principle also makes it possible for a particle to be at two places at the same time. Further, many physicists have to resort to thought experiments, and one classic thought experiment, known as Shrodinger’s Cat, has led to the suggestion that there may be multiple parallel universes, which is of course counter-intuitive.
According to physics, therefore, the world is far from exact or certain, nor are many things in the inorganic world knowable. If the world is not exact or certain even in the inorganic realm, then how likely is it to be exact or certain or knowable in the biological realm? There is plenty of imprecision and uncertainty in physics and chemistry, and therefore physics and chemistry are not exact sciences either. Many physical and chemical phenomena, such as the diffraction pattern created by electrons, can only be described by using statistics and observation. That makes them no different than biological phenomena, many of which are also described by statistics and observation.
