Re: Physics is a human construct

As far as we can tell, we are UNIQUE in observable nature.
Many people have observed this in different ways. For example:

"Man is an exception, whatever else he is. If it is
not true that a divine being fell, then we can only
say that one of the animals went entirely off its
head."
-- Gilbert Keith Chesterton
