The notion that physics can ever be complete is...not even wrong.

  Prove it.

    Prove physics can be completed. There will always be higher energies, or greater or smaller scales to explore.

      If we can account for every phenomenon that occurs within the scales that we can observe then we can probably claim that physics is complete. Unfortunately it seems that even that might be impossible

        No, we can’t claim that. It would still be at best an approximation. Perhaps more accurate and/or precise than what we’ve got now, but an approximation nonetheless. We’ve long ago given up on even getting close to what you propose anyway.

          I’m saying it would be a reasonable definition of complete, and no we absolutely have not given up on a theory of all phenomena

    Bazinga.

      Perhaps the oracle could indicate when the Career().solve_physics() routine will halt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem
