Humanities is distinct from science, to the extent that it's information generated by a specific life-form (humans), and is specific to our specific language and hardware we evolved and implemented. Studying a great novel, or moral dilemmas, are ultimately about how we process, transmit, and infer information generated by other humans, and shared through extremely high-dimensional, but less structured, contexts, such as language, novels, literature, etc. To say a physics phenomena is more 'humanities' is a strange statement, and it's hard to understand what they are getting at.
