if they invent some new kind of fucked up math to do it then there could be far reaching consequences

I don’t even let relativity affect me. Any newer physics can scram.

I hope so.

Wasn’t Physics 3 (thermodynamics, light, waves, quantum) pretty recent?

Graphene, the superconductor hoax, the quantum electron model all would like to disagree.

Even though you might not need to calculate anything with it, it certainly applies in your daily life. (although the electron model maybe mostly for high school students)
