Einstein had shown that nothing in the universe, not even gravity can travel faster than the speed of light. This results quickly went bad for Newton because if Einstein was right (which he is) then how could the earth get shot out of orbit before the darkness - caused by the disappearance of the sun - reaches the earth?
Atimes,science discoveries seems to be precarious. I still remember in classical physics that atom is indestructible but nuclear physics did not correspond with that indestructibility of the atom
So most science laws and theories are not absolutely right if we can philosophise
There is a difference between theory and what has stood the test of experiment, Newton's description of the motion of a ball will always be correct. What we humans are trying to do in this weird place we found ourselves in is trying to describe it with mathematical equations. So whenever we see things happening in a certain way, we try to describe it... the best we can with theory until we can do an experiment which will help understand it better.
So even when we found out with experiments, that atoms can be split in nuclear physics. The discovery itself cannot change our mathematical predictions of how atoms work in our everyday life
So you can't say physics is wrong because of failed theories about the universe. We respect experiment without caring about authorities.
