Not so. The success of physics is because it tackles the simple 
problems which involve few things interacting. When I were a lad people 
were looking for solutions to the n-body problem (more than 2!) now we 
know they are not there. Not in the simple form that 2-body problems  
and effectively infinite numbers (thermodynamics) anyway.

What is weird are the immensely complex problems that biology and 
ecology throws up.
