There&#x27;s a lot of &#x27;everyday life&#x27; we don&#x27;t understand. In fact most of our scholarship is in the domain of &#x27;everyday life&#x27;. From biology and chemistry to computer science and economics and sociology.<p>What the author meant was that nothing that will be discovered in this domain will shake fundamental physics. Things that will shake fundamental physics won&#x27;t come from &#x27;everyday life&#x27;, but rather from extreme environments like those found in particle accelerators, and through study of gravitational waves, CMB etc.
