> It's also consistent with the fact that 17th century mathematics could make so much headway unravelling the laws of physics and we're still fumbling trying to understand bacteria.
Keep in mind that's pretty relative. 17th century physics was low-energy, newtonian, and euclidian. No insight into the microcosmos whatsoever. No insight into the high-energy macro-structures. No science of complexity.
In other words, a very narrow slice of the whole range of existence.
