I'm well versed in the "philosophy" of science.

Personally though because philosophy encompasses stuff like animism I don't give the entire field much weight. Aspects of it are interesting but the entire field as a whole is a category error that encompasses everything on the face of the earth. What is not philosophy? I mean it sounds like philosophy is the study of anything and everything.

Anyway to your point physics supposedly is a mathematical model that can model everything down to the tiniest atom. There are holes where not everything can be calculated in a closed form equation and there are holes where the fundamental primitive is true randomness which is something hard to replicate or define.

In this sense physics can model almost (key adjective) everything in the the universe. Including most of all human activity. Because in the end that's of what's going on. Atoms.
