Can Physics Explain the Human Mind and Intelligence?

In summary, while physics has made significant progress in understanding the physical world, it falls short in fully explaining the complexities of the human mind and intelligence. While physics can explain the physical processes that occur within the brain, it cannot fully explain consciousness, emotions, and other aspects of the human mind. Additionally, while cognitive neuroscience has made strides in linking brain activity to behavior and thought, it still cannot fully explain the intricacies of human intelligence. Ultimately, the human mind and intelligence remain a mystery that cannot be fully explained by physics alone.

I'm a korean undergraduate student studying physics and neuroscience.
I'm interested in biomedical optics and theoretical neuroscience.
My wish is making a physics theory of human mind and intelligence.
