If our understanding of physics hadn't changed, you wouldn't be using your computer. Or talking on a cellphone. Or using GPS to find directions.
Etc etc etc.
OMG,
It's like talking to rocks...
When 'physics was changed' was the new data that allowed cell phones and gps used to aguement and push the old idea of how physics worked? Or was the old idea discarded and replaced with the new understanding?
How is this different than I you quoted me in saying?
Which again in any other intelectual disipline when an idea gets changed or modified more than the sum total of it orginal purpose then the idea is completely reconsidered. Meaning if you have to change or add to the shape of a circle a few times it ceases being a circle.
