Is everything just physics on the molecular level? How?

Biology, chemistry… if you zoom deep/far enough, does it all just become physics?

Thanks!

Technically, yes, but the sum is more than the parts. It is like saying that companies, countries, religion, culture are just people. But we made the distinction between physics and chemistry because they are asking different questions.

To be more precise, the overlap is between quantum and molecular level. Because, if you want to study how a molecule like protein is interacting with other molecules, you still need to take quantum physics into account.
