Coming back to Prof. Cox's point about one day not needing Chemistry and Biology ... I am a bit sceptical. Don't get me wrong, I love the guy.

But simply thinking of Biology and Chemistry on a quantum level might not be so productive to our understanding of such topics. Sure, if you come down to it, they might all be quarks and the such, but how fruitful is the outlook when trying to explain certain aspects of biology.

What do you think .. am I wrong? :think:
