    It's a quote from Niels Bohr.

    Does anyone know from where this quote comes from? (or is it even true? ...)

    I've been looking for a reference for ages and I'm unable to find it. (Which is starting to irritate me a lot. Oh the agony).

    I'll apply fuzzy logic and say it is mainly untrue (or, has a truth value less than 50%). It is more accurate to say that physics is a complex, interacting, group of atoms way at looking at themselves.

    This is because a single human is composed of many, many molecules which are groups of atoms. Ultimately, a human is an exponential amount of atoms (or molecules).
