When Newton worked out the laws of motion, he figured they had to be correct because they were so simple and elegant.
He had no idea that relativity was going to come in and fuck his shit up.
And then there was quantum.
Do you have any idea how fast you were going?
No officer, but I can tell you exactly where I am!
"Noooooooooo!" -Albert Einstein
Which is also simple and elegant
And then string theory. Which . . .
The music of the universe is a symphony, damnit. That’s inherently complex!
It’s a genuine shame the vibrating strings of reality sound like tinnitus to me.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Which is also simple and elegant
He did also notice that the planets didn't move quite exactly as he predicted and said "well, God must keep them in place"
"Now excuse me I'm going to go behead some counterfeiters."
TBF the laws of motion are still correct.
it's not that they are "correct", it's that they are a close enough approximation to work well enough at the scale they're used. it's not like the universe runs on math.
I mean relativity is elegant enough in its own right; it's just Newton's laws plus the constancy of the speed of light and the equivalence principle. These two additions are enough to make everything an order of magnitude more fucked up, but that's math's fault, not relativity.
now do quantum
