Well, how would you know whether that would be a problem for the world or not if you don't trust the best system which attempts to explain and describe the world around us?
As the world has proven to be able to do things we didn't think possible based on our system of explanation and description, the world has also on as many other occasions proven to be incapable of doing things we reflexively thought ought to be possible. Exceed speed of light, and pin down location and energy of particles with arbitrary precision, for example.
