The theory states that all human actions are mathematically entailed by laws of chemistry/physics.
1. for the theory to be correct, there must be at least two empirical sciences: chemistry and physics
2. empirical sciences require it to be the case that if researchers make observations, then they almost always accurately record what they observe
3. therefore, if the theory is correct and a researcher observes the result of performing procedure A, the researcher must almost always accurately record what they observe and if a researcher observes the result of performing procedure B, the researcher must almost always accurately record what they observe
4. a researcher can record the observation of result A by performing procedure C and a researcher can record the observation of result B by performing C
5. if the theory is correct, WLOG, the researcher will perform C
6. therefore, if the theory is correct, for all procedures A and B, the result must be such that it is recorded by C
7. there are As and Bs such that science tells us that they will not both be recorded by C
Yes, there are charge/parity experiments, linked to earlier by GrahamH, iirc, that show this violation in nature (where procedure C is: look at the interaction in a mirror).
8. therefore, the theory is inconsistent with science
Not at all. All we need is a theory of science (see CKM matrices) to account for the violation.
9. the theory requires science
10. therefore the theory cannot be correct.
Do you understand CP violation and its resolution by theoretical physics? Here's a useful paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-ph/0605217.pdf
