Newton "may" have solved what makes objects to fall, until Einstein gave a more complete explanation, and we still don't fully understand gravity. So it's always a "may" until you get a better theory.
- edgyquant 5y agoThis would be a measure of may I’m okay with, but the article isn’t denoting that since it is discussing theories about gravitational waves that have not been verified. If we roll with your analogy we’re at the Galilean period where we don’t yet even have methods to prove that reality reflects the maths we contrived. This is why I take issue with it. When I go to walk my dog in an hour I may solve the pieces to a theory of unified gravity. If I did it would be okay for me to make a claim like that, if I thought about how cool circles looked in space and solved some random equations for replicating those circles I don’t think anyone would appreciate me saying I may have solved an actual theory. Obviously I’m walking over the part where they actually do research, but only to drive the point home of it being clickbait (I see these titles more and more in r/physics)
