Can Metaphysics Answer Where Physics Falls Short?

Original: When Physics Runs Out of Answers, Does Metaphysics Have Any? Does science explain reality, or merely describe it? And wh

A new essay by writer Bry Willis asks whether physics explains reality or merely describes it, and what happens when scientific questions outlive the frameworks that make them answerable. The piece revives an old debate in philosophy of science: where the limits of empirical inquiry lie, and whether metaphysics can still say anything meaningful once physics runs out of answers.

Why now: It touches an enduring question about the limits of science that resurfaces whenever fundamental physics stalls on problems like consciousness or the foundations of quantum theory.
