This is something I’ve been wondering about for some time. Is it possible that some laws of physics are straight-up wrong, and can be disproved as our understanding/technology improves? How concrete are the laws of physics? Is it possible for us to be absolutely certain about anything?

I think maths and physics are both sciences made to explain what surrounds us. Maths enables us to go one step further by trying to not only rely on what we witness. For example it is hard for us to see above 3 dimensions. With maths you dont really care, you use a variable and think how you can generalize.
But remember the whole “You need a referential to make such calculus”, why? We need to state that we are here to calculate let’s say how things move. Dont you think it’s a very human thing to do?
If we use our imagination, what the world would look like if we were omniscient or being at two place at the same time or even being at two different point in time. How would it affect our conception and axioms for both maths and physics?
So do we model what’s really happening or have we just found an optimal solution to explain most of the things that happens based on how we perceive the world?
