Well, Feynman, I hope he holds some weight in your eyes?
And the meaning of the saying is obviously that physics, as is well known, is a science of errors. And it is a pseudo-science from the point of view that it constantly builds models that only describe real situations with a certain, pre-calculated accuracy, and not precisely.
Well, are you sure that your model 100% reflects the situation with the Boeing?
By studying an ant's leg, you extrapolate the experience gained to all other legs of that ant, to all other ants, to the entire anthill, to the entire forest, to all legs of other living creatures, to the entire planet, the universe, etc.
Electromagnetic radiation spectra. Classical theory (see Rayleigh-Jeans law) did not provide a satisfactory description of the spectra of radiation of an absolutely black body (see Ultraviolet catastrophe) and significantly diverged from experimentally observed ones. Linear spectra of emission and absorption of light by gaseous substances also did not find an explanation within the framework of classical physics.
You didn't say exactly that. But you are very smoothly leading to the fact that in the theory of physics, there are very few contradictions with practice, and that they are not so significant.
The phenomenon of radioactivity, discovered in 1896 by A. Becquerel, and studied at the end of the 19th century by Marie and Pierre Curie, testified to the fact that atoms contain a huge (compared to their size and mass) energy, the origin of which could not be explained within the framework of classical physics.
The red edge of the external photoelectric effect.
But these classical theories are still taught in schools and universities.
How could such a strictly regular, harmonious structure as the universe have arisen as a result of an explosion? An explosion destroys, not creates.
This is roughly the same as assuming that an airplane can be formed as a result of an explosion of an aircraft factory.
