One of the key lessons of physical science is that "why" is the same as "how". "Why" is a psychological layer, how we thinking about "how". There is no "why" in physics.

That's quite true in physical science. However, physical science is a fairly new endeavor. The "why" may not be entirely psychological, but mathematical, at the end of the day.
