Solution
Naturally, the entire physical world is complicated. The biological world has its own complexities. Moreover, space, time and mass are involved in different orders of magnitudes. Despite, of all this, almost all the physical phenomena can be expressed in terms of a few basic laws. In this context, the statement made by Einstein becomes very evident.
