If you're comparing critical mass in physics with critical mass in sociology, I already know you're full of it without needing to read any further.

- tristanMatthias 2y agoIs there not a value in drawing interdisciplinary ties between fields? Physics underpins reality, would it not be feasible that it's laws scale to higher order complexities?

- Joker_vD 2y agoBecause claims that one singular concept or idea can explain pretty much everything in life have, historically, been quite false.
