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?

  Hmm. I think of “physics” as a collection of models. What do you think of it as?

    The rules that govern how the universe works

    If your premise is physics doesn’t exist because humans have lost an understanding of it then you have placed your own ego at the centre of your question

      We think and talk about what we observe in terms of rules because rules are a convenient way to think and talk about it. That is the long and short of it.
