  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!

    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.

  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.

  He did also notice that the planets didn't move quite exactly as he predicted and said "well, God must keep them in place"

  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

  He definitely miscalculused the turntables…

  relativity only applies at large scales and quantum at small scales.

    The point is that he just assumed there was nothing more to know. And he was wrong (tho I’m not gonna knock the dude who invented calculus too hard).

    The comic is trying to point out that bigotry is generally born out of a lack of curiosity.

      And i’d fundamentally disagree. plenty of curious people use their curiosity to perpetuate and develop new forms of bigotry.

      history of science is loaded with people using new concepts to perpetuate and reinforce racism, sexism, etc. and that is still very much done today.

        Interesting take. Thanks for sharing.

    “applies” isn’t the word I would use. It’s not like nature has a line that once you pass some threshold of mass, acceleration or distance it needs to flip the relativity switch.

    Probably say “becomes noticable”.
