despite the sophisticated math required, physics is also orders of magnitude simpler than biology, chemistry, or the social sciences, which is why physics models can reach that level of certainty and other sciences haven’t yet.

We just expect different things from those sciences. Physical simulations go equally awry on the large scale, like predicting the weather a week out.
