>But this gives rise to yet another problem: physics is not self-explanatory. If physics
is regarded as an expression of the structure of reality, then clearly it is real, and a
comprehensive theory of reality must explain its every part and aspect. But then in
order to qualify as a comprehensive theory of reality, physics must explain itself, its
correspondence to reality, and arguably the biological origins and mental activity of
physicists in whose minds it exists. In fact, physics as we know it can explain none of
these things, or even the natural law of which it supposedly consists. Such explanations
are prohibited by its methodology as encoded in the scientific method, according to
which it must constantly be tested by observation and experimentation.

>Technically, it is not permitted to depart from the world of the senses.
