Physics and chemistry are based on laws. There are no mistakes in physics. Biology, in contrast, is full of errors. "The answers to these questions have profound implications for how we think about life. If things go wrong only when physics becomes biology, biology might truly be irreducible to physics and chemistry, despite centuries of reductionism saying otherwise." https://aeon.co/essays/a-new-theory-suggests-mistakes-are-an-essential-part-of-being-alive
