I understand your position and I think it's the norm. Yet I find it difficult to comprehend how it's not self-evidently absurd.
Do you feel like software transcends pyhsics, mathematics and logics? Because that's what the statement translates to.
The only reason it's impossible, is because nobody tries, because trying to do so would interfer with the deliverables of next sprint. The software industry has painted itself into a corner.
Physics is full of leaky abstractions. Solid? Leaky abstraction (melting). Ideal gas? Leaky abstraction (van der Walls). Molecule? Leaky abstraction (chemical reactions). Atom? Leaky abstraction (ionization, fusion, fission, alpha and beta decay). Proton? Leaky abstraction (sometimes you have to care about the quarks).

No, I feel like software developers are unable to predict the future. Mathematics and logic aren't much help with that and physics barely enters into it.
