  3. @BigEatie This is a metaphysical question, ie what does a change in the validity of a scientific theory imply for the structure of reality? Physicists, who are generally uncomfortable with such speculation, tend to opt for the “it’s only a correction” interpretation. But I agree, relativity changes everything, and Newton was simply wrong.
