You really can’t allow that something unexpected could come along to obviate the Theory of Relativity?
I’m sorry, but you don’t seem to get how science works and I don’t have the time to explain it to you anymore.
Well, you could say GR superseded SR, but that’s hardly obviating it!
It is a very grand elaboration on the theme, you might say.
Well, what the heck, I’ll bite. I recall that in my high school days I wrote a ( very brief ) composition, I guess for English Class, about a student in a physics class who challenged the status quo and, in the event, presided over a scene where he sat serenely in his classroom chair while the teacher and the other students floated in space around him.
“You see”, he said, “Things aren’t so simple as you imagine them.”
My teacher wrote in his comments, “Well Lew, there are ways and ways to beat the system, this was very well done.”
