Abstract
We discuss the possibility that the complexity of biological systems may lie beyond the predictive capabilities of theoretical physics: in Stuart Kauffman's words, there is a World Beyond Physics (WBP). It is argued that, in view of modern developments of statistical mechanics, the WBP is smaller than one might anticipate from the standpoint of fundamental physical theories.
