&gt; What would a satisfactory &quot;why&quot; even look like exactly? As in, what form might it take compared to some other scientific discipline where we do know what&#x27;s going on?<p>To me this is obvious: a proof is an adequate answer. All of the explanations given in this area are heuristic reasons. They&#x27;re nice, but we can&#x27;t know if they&#x27;re correct or if we&#x27;re being fooled by our intuition without a proof.
