No he's saying that when something changes it is the actualization of a potential. For instance, there is a potential for the red ball to be blue. This potential could be actualized when the red ball is dipped in a can of blue paint.
It seems you are saying that the red ball can only be blue if it has the potential to be blue. I don't believe that is the point of the act potency distinction and you didn't give a good reason why you don't believe in it.

>but if we wish to do good metaphysics notions such as potentiality and cause I think can supplanted by physical descriptions of the universe such as chemical reactions.
Looks like you're confusing scientific explanations for metaphysical ones here.
