Taboo "physics". We could, and probably will, discover a perfect model of the fundamental level of reality (or the lowest level we have access to), but that doesn't mean everything in reality will become predictable or boring. Any Turing-complete system contains in potential an infinite number of unpredictable behaviors, some of which will be interesting.
