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.
