“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”.

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.
