When women routinely win Nobel Prizes in physics, chemistry or medicine, when a woman becomes a world chess champion, when a woman conceives and develops a brand new computer chip that represents a significant advancement over quad cores, when a woman invents warp drive or phasers, when a woman solves an «insolvable» math problem, when a woman, while working with the Large Hadron Collider, discovers the now - hypothetical Higgs Boson to be an actual scalar
subatomic particle, when a woman figures out how to pinpoint the exact location of an electron
at any point in time, when a woman working for Merck or Pfizer develops a remedy for Alzheimer's disease, when a woman's baseball team can defeat the New York Yankees, when a woman can bench press six hundred pounds, run the 100 meter dash in under nine seconds or set a world record in the high jump, then the fairer sex will have made an advance or contribution unlike any it has made before.

Birch and Cobb maintain that the ecological model is more adequate than the mechanical model for explaining DNA, the cell, other biological subject matter (as well as
subatomic physics), because it holds that living things behave as they do only in interaction with other things which constitute their environment (LL 83) and because «the constituent elements of the structure
at each level (of an organism) operate in patterns of interconnectedness which are not mechanical» (LL 83).

The usual answer is that the structure which Whitehead imputes to his functional feeling is «micrological» in character, i.e., that feeling, as the function of actual entities, belongs to an impalpable
subatomic realm lying
at the basis of things.
The implication of the new
subatomic physics was that certainty was replaced by probability, or the notion of tendencies rather than absolutes: «we can never predict an atomic event with certainty; we can only predict the likelihood of its happening»... This directly contradicts the mechanistic model we explored above, and it implies that a subject such as normal birth needs to be looked
at as a whole rather than its parts...»
