- visarga 11y agoBut we can't predict when a toddler will collapse, or when she will start throwing toys, using the current understanding in physics, even if "The Laws Underlying the Physics of Everyday Life Are Completely Understood". What I am getting at is that we only understand the Low Level laws. We still can't understand, for example, financial markets or the weather. Complex dynamic systems are still beyond our horizon of understanding, even if we know how elementary particles behave. Another example, and this one is very basic: Predict the state of a system of 3+ bodies moving in space. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem
