Many focus closely on the disproportionate representation (by gender, race, etc) in physics. They are pretty into physics. They view the problem as a lack of inspiration.

A young Hispanic man who can go into a field like construction and immediately make $25 to $30 per hour may see a good reason to put off college, she explains, while college may seem more attractive to young Latinas facing entry-level wages of $12 to $15 per hour in other fields. So how do you balance that?

Yes, the microscopic laws of physics may be reversible (and indeed if our system is simple—and computationally reducible—enough of this reversibility may “shine through”). But in our Physics Project that’s not at all how things fundamentally work. But the point is that computational irreducibility is in a sense a much stronger force.
