I came from physics into bio. I was one of those arrogant physicists that though the bio majors were just not 'smart' enough and couldn't hack it in math, so they fell into bio. Maybe that was true of some of my fellow students, but as a field, bio is just insane. I was terribly wrong to think those things. Bio is crazy complex. We've been poking the brain for a century now, and we have basically gotten no-where. At least we know that now. Take astrocytes/glia as a tiny example. These are the 'glue' cells in a brain that hold and feed the neurons. Sure, they do that, but a lot of new research is saying that they help modulate the synapse as well, the fundamental thing that makes thinking happen. Maybe. We basically have no idea now. We can't even say how many astrocytes there are in a typical brain. Is it 50%, is it 10%? Each new study overturns the last. It's chaos. What even is a synapse? We have no idea. Multiply this over every tissue in a body. And then that's only humans, let alone turtles and birds and bacteria and viruses etc. One must always remember that bio was 'designed' by a very drunk, very horny, illiterate schizophrenic over 4.5 billion years with an average design cycle of about 22 minutes (~10E14 total cycles). It makes no sense because it never did.
