This statement is a long-standing gimmick. In fact, physics is an important basic discipline of natural science, which is independent and separated from philosophy in history. Early natural science (there was no word "science" at that time) was called natural philosophy, and the title of Newton's masterpiece "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" fully explained this point.

Therefore, rather than saying that "the end of physics is philosophy", it is better to say that "the end of philosophy is physics" is closer to historical facts. This kind of stunt or stalk is empty talk that only advocates metaphysics, and stupid philosopher students who never reflect on their own ideas and reality are the golden sentences of philosophy. What they show is the other way around: "Philosophy has developed to the end", and they can't go on. They can only beg for science and take the pursuit of dreams as the ultimate goal of physics. For example, if science is compared to a sailboat, philosophy is just a warship bird that barely survives on board. Without scientific realistic materials, philosophy is water without a source and a tree without a root.

As for saying that "the end of philosophy is theology", it is even more nonsense. Because philosophy is speculation and theology is faith, these are two cars running on different tracks, and there is no intersection.
