Well, the physical universe will still exist, but I don't think that
physics - the scientific study of said universe - will become sort of meaningless, I would think?
- Terr_ 1y agoWhy meaningless? Imperfect knowledge can still be useful, and ultimately that's the only kind we can ever have about anything. "We could learn to sail the oceans and discover new lands and transport cargo cheaply... But in a few centuries we'll discover we were wrong and the Earth isn't really a sphere and tides are extra-complex so I guess there's no point."

You can't predict anything because you don't even know if some of the laws you don't know yet (which is pretty much all of them) makes an exception to the 0% of laws you do know. I'm not saying it's not interesting, but it's more history - today the apple fell down rather than up or sideways - than physics.
