&gt; every physical phenomenon we&#x27;re capable of observing here on earth with any instruments we&#x27;ve invented to date<p>This is stronger than &quot;everyday life&quot; claim, and likely false. Note that the article carefully excludes &quot;fancy telescopes&quot;: there is a reason.<p>For example, we can observe supernovae. We don&#x27;t have satisfactory model of core-collapse supernovae yet. In other words, if you set initial condition to right before explosion and simulate forward, stars don&#x27;t explode in simulation. And critically, it is seriously entertained that this may be due to physics beyond the Standard Model, unlike life or superconductivity: e.g. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;0710.3112" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;0710.3112</a>
