Perhaps one of the brightest, and certainly the funniest, theoretical physicists of the XXth century was the author of the phrase that gives the title to this present Comment: Richard Phillips Feynman (1918–1988) who, according to tradition, left written onto his blackboard, at the California Institute of Technology, precisely that “what I cannot create, I do not understand”, shortly before his death [1–3]. For several generations of physics students around the globe, Nobel Prize Laureate Feynman has represented an icon of how creativity, ingenuity, and little respect for the establishment, can lead to great discoveries and, along the way, have fun with the type of science which dares to overcome disciplinary boundaries. Feynman was always not only interested in Biology, but also puzzled by how biological problems seemed to challenge the, otherwise, successful tools developed by the same theoretical physics that helped to change our vision of the world and which has rocketed the dev...
