I feel like you don't appreciate the way science works. If we found out tomorrow that the universe were, at its bottom, made of string cheese, that would not invalidate Newtonian Mechanics. Newtonian / Classical Mechanics is an effective theory in the technical sense[0], which means that it is independent (up to some unspecified constants) of the finer underlying details. Yes, we may be wrong about how we see the world. But wrong is relative. No amount of science or new discovery will make us see the Earth as flat.
