I read a quote that I thought was worth sharing.
MIT Professor Andrew Lo: "Physics has three laws that explain 99% of the phenomena, and economics has 99 laws that explain 3% of the phenomena."

Physists are seeking a single answer to all problems. Economists are seeking an answer for each problem.
At least that is how I interpret this situation. Seems reasonable too, from what I have observed.
Since this is a very simple explanation, it is right until such time that it is refuted with other proof,
or a simpler explanation.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pilferage', 'P')hysicists are just lazier.
Physicists consider laziness a virtue. I'm not kidding, ask any Physicist.
Their philosophy is "Don't work harder, work smarter". One great idea is worth more than years of tedious work.
