Week 8 Physics- Classical Physics
Newton's three laws and the math needed to express them were ground breaking and phenomenal at the time. Especially in a time when religion could strongly suppress the sciences. Newton admitted that what he did know was far less than what he didn't know. His theories persisted for centuries and science advanced as new technologies were able to more accurately measure, if only to find the discrepancies in Newton's laws. I wouldn't be surprised if a hundred years from now scientists find our current theories of quantum mechanics irrelevant.

It seems to me that technology is increasing at such a swift rate that maybe the technology itself that finds our quantum mechanics irrelevant and not the human scientist.
