Why do we need physics in the first place, to explain life? Shouldn't chemistry be enough?

- AtlasBarfed 8y agoI guess if you can get the necessary chemical effects from quantum stuff, which I think crops up sometimes in biological processes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_biology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_biology Technically chemistry could encompass quantum-derived chemical effects, but I believe the base insinuation of your post is that classical chemistry can describe everything we see in biology, eventually. As to the post, who knows? "New physics" is unlikely, I would agree. But I'm way out of my league here.
