This should be fixed on every Physics department

every science department now that i think about it

    Can't actually perceive reality, only approximations of it so physics never did and never will agree with reality, whatever reality really is if anything

      Excellent way to destroy science forever. Could work better than the vaccines.

      The solution is error bars.

        That only makes sense if you assume reality is inherently indeterministic. If it isn't, error bars do not "agree" with reality, since reality is unequivocally determined.
        And of course there is no way for you to know whether the physical world is deterministic or not, so you are shit out of luck.

          Damn ur right. Why don’t we just make a theory that completely agrees with reality on a universal scale. Idk why we didn’t think of that before.

        You think you know what error is though which is a contradiction, what you're doing of defining an acceptable deviation from expectation (not reality) and calling it "error" assuming the reality in somewhere in there. You can make technology this way but that's it

      If you have 5 apples and divide them by 5, you will get 1 apple as the quotient. This is agreeing with reality.

        The math is a perceptual structure you impose onto the things you're observing so you can conceive abstraction motor action like dividing, but you're not really doing anything outside of the psychology of your perception of enumerating the apples

        And apple is just a placeholder for something too complicated to comprehend in it's entirety, it has amino acids, DNA, quarks, gluons and this weird relationship with the strong force and spacetime - but we just truncate that stuff and say apple.

        Works good though for engineering, not a total description of reality though. You'll never know what an apple really is or what you can do with it

          If I have 7 apples and I eat 1 apple per day, I will eat all apples in 7 days

          That agrees with reality

        As long as you have a concept of equality between those objects you call "apples" wich are clearly different from each other in shape and weight, otherwise you cant algebraicaly sum two things that are not equal. Hence your model leaves something out that it doesnt explain hence it has a limit (wich is good) and is not reality itself. Reality wont change because you change your telescope but it does not solve the fact that the description is incomplete

          Apple is a noun. Numbers are represented by numerals, which are adjectives modifying the same noun (apple)

          >Hence your model leaves something out that it doesnt explain
          It doesn't leave anything. You're just too much of an ignoramus to know what is the difference of a numeral and a number.

    Doesn't that mean that any random theory has a 50/50 chance of being right?

    Sadly we can't, because last 100 years of modern science would get thrown out the window

      The current models are known to be wrong, but there's nothing better to replace them yet.

            what about the kinetic theory of gravity? it was the leading one before einstein's

            That's essentially what they've been trying to find any evidence for. Gravitons haven't been observed, gravity is much weaker than the other fundamental forces, it seems to interact with matter we can't detect, and time dilation doesn't work in QM. General relativity isn't going away until all that can be solved with particle equations.

            classical gravity is demonstrably, emperically wrong full stop.
