    Like, Newton’s laws are appropriate for high school, but they’re known to be incorrect and are simplifications of Einstein’s refinements. But, they’re close enough for most purposes, and understanding Einstein’s stuff is pretty hard.

    There is difference between good enough approximation and completely wrong. Some of stuff was last.

    Same with models of the atom.

    Not same. Physics textbooks for I had had planetary model, while chemistry textbooks explained quantuum mechanics model.

      Yep. Newtonian physics got us to the moon. If quantum mechanics had been involved with the technology of the time, nothing would have gotten built.
