Comment on 1000 years from now physics is forgotten and all that remains is the legend of two hobbits, Charm and Spin, and their quest for the Higgyboson. At this point, is physics true?

Physics is true whether or not we believe in or understand it. It’s not Santa Claus.
But there’s no such thing as hobbits.

Physics is a fact. Belief in it is irrelevent.
Hobbit is a name for a fictional creature, there is nothing to prevent reuse of the name for some real creature of the next 1000 years.
