hey! great post, i started looking through your site after looking at your history of the end poem things and i found this and i just have to say i disagree so completely i felt i needed to comment! you state that you cannot understand a whole no matter how well you know its constituent parts, many have said this as well, kurzgesagt comes to mind, however i see absolutely no evidence or proof of this or any reason why its true, the reason we study fields at a higher level then physics is because we are humans prone to mistakes in a universe with no obligation to be understandable to our finite minds, there is great insight to be had in seeing for yourself what comes of these things to check your results, or simply due to the fact that there is randomness at play, most likely literal and most certainty practical, as these random events can change how a radioactive particle decays and impacts where its emission goes eventually leading to one organism aquireing a mutation that would send it down the long path to become a dog, a dog cannot be predicted due to this but knowing of a dog and being able to completely catalog all of its parts allow us to use even the most basic level physics to see why it goes up the stairs, when larger things act in unexpected ways these ways ALWAYS end up making sense, we just didnt see that that could happen, this even happens in simulations of the lowest level WE MAKE. when it comes to dark matter and other such hypothesized explanations for unexplained results there have always been people who think that gravity works in different ways at higher scales, not because of some order in our universe but because these are the nonsense set of laws we got stuck with to try and figure out, modified gravity and dark matter and both reasonable explanations! dark matter is reasonable because we already know of particles like neutrinos that very weakly interact with certain forces, there is no reason to think they are alone in that!!! again, the universe is under no obligation to make it easy for us to understand it, its merely the universe that was capable and ended up producing humans and dogs for that matter!

One final thing, dark matter does not hide its use as an uncertain explanation to fix our models, it already calls itself something as ridiculous as angels or the holy spirit, its called dark matter, the dark part has always been a reference to this! the same with dark energy, the dark part is that very admission of uncertainty that you say would be obvious if we called them angels, it was already made obvious!
