why it is more difficult to develop sound theories in the behavioral sciences than it is to explain phenomena in the natural sciences.
Physical phenomena are observable events that occur in the physical world. These can include phenomena such as gravity, magnetism, electricity, and sound. These phenomena can be described and explained using principles of physics.
The principle of naturalism was the basis of Greek science, which emphasized the idea that natural phenomena could be explained by natural causes rather than supernatural forces. This principle laid the foundation for the rational and empirical approach to understanding the natural world that characterized Greek science.
Reductionism in physics is the idea that complex phenomena can be understood by breaking them down into simpler, more fundamental components or laws. It suggests that everything in the universe can be explained in terms of the interactions between these basic building blocks, such as particles or forces. This approach has been successful in explaining many natural phenomena, but it also has limitations as some complex systems may exhibit emergent properties that cannot be fully explained by reduction to their simplest parts.
The physical phenomena must be observable and measurable.
Science focuses on explaining natural phenomena that can be observed, measured, and tested using the scientific method. Supernatural phenomena, by definition, are beyond the scope of nature and cannot be tested or studied using empirical methods. Science deals with natural events and seeks to provide natural explanations based on evidence and observations.
The term that describes forces that cannot be explained by science or the laws of nature is "supernatural." These are phenomena or powers that are considered to originate beyond the realms of natural understanding and empirical evidence.
Mythology was created to answer humans question about nature and their lives. It explained natural phenomena that they didn't have the science to explain.
Astrology is a system constructed by the ancients to explain phenomena that are now much better explained by science
There are really no phenomena in which physics is not applied - physics can be used to describe almost everything you can think of in the world around yourself. Only intangible things like human thoughts and emotions and religion cannot be explained by science.
how can scientific information explain enviromental phenomena
Diffusion
An idea: much of science is founded on theories which are observed in everyday life, but cannot be proved. For example, science cannot physically prove that any two bodies with finite mass will be attracted by gravity. Theories and laws describe phenomena that cannot be proven.
The main limit of science is that everything that happens cannot be explained. Some things are simply phenomenon, and the reasons they happened are unclear.

There was a time when science could not even approach what is commonly termed 'psychic phenomena'. The classical physics dictated that everything within the purview of science had to be testable and quantifiable. But so-called psychic phenomena are more qualitative and not as easily tested. Most scientists thought that the implications of psychic phenomena, if true, might even overturn science. There seemed to be so much of a disconnect that most scientists though these phenomena probably were not real or at least not physical. With the dawning of modern contemporary science based in quantum mechanics all of that changes. It is now well known that the world is not the material objective reality scientists once thought. This has been proven by experiments in quantum mechanics, which again is the basis of modern physics. Quantum physics is not pseudo-science. Parapsychology research has shown that there are abilties and phenomena that are real and cannot be explained using classical physics. However when the implications of quantum physics are applied to these parapsychology findings, there do appear to be intriguing similarities that are too striking to ignore. New theories of information ruling the structure of the universe, and of hyperdimensional realities are beginning to suggest that the apparently strange findings in parapsychology research may not only be one day explained by science but even are predictions from current theories.
