It would only realla affect people studying physics would it not?
Advanced physics at the doctorate level probably until it became well established. Which would probably take decades unless it was particularly useful.
Not if you let the physicists get their way!
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?
70-100 years ago, so not really
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)
The subprime mortgage crisis affected everyone's life despite it being unnecessary for anyone to understand what was going on. There are dozens if items, devices, and processes you do every day without any rral understanding of how they work. You use your bame every day but i bet you couldn't tell the etymology of your first and last names.
Knowledge is never a bad thing, but it isn't necessary to understand everything tou use every day.
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
