idk.. we really haven't had empirical (e.g. molecular biology) data for as long as physical (e.g. position of the planets). and even w/ the position of galaxies or fluid flow, there it's not clear what can and can't be "derived from fundamental laws."
so I'm not sure this is unique to bio. also, the title grates on me. would prefer "our incomplete maths" or something.
- jhbadger 11y agoTrue. But it is really worth remembering (as the editorial notes) that math in biology is nothing new and fields like classical genetics were highly mathematical before molecular biology existed.
