Biology is the quintessential science. We, and all living things are highly sophisticated organic machines, and by studying the organisms who passed through the forge of natural selection, we can create for ourselves seemingly impossible wonders. Imagine if an alien ship crashed into the earth, carrying with it super advanced technology. People would study it and reverse engineer it in the hopes that the technology could be reconstructed and made use of by humanity. This would likely fail, of course, because sophisticated machinery typically requires special tools to be assembled (ex. microchips). Not so with Biology! We already HAVE highly advanced machines to make use of, and because of its roots in DNA, we can alter and construct anything! On the horizon of biological research, I see godhood. On the horizon of physics, I see foresight made useless due to immense time complexity for calculations. Furthermore, biologists actually use the scientific method instead of just coming up with unfalsifiable theories.
