Way out of my scope of knowledge but I think a hypothetical unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity would be the next big model. Hasn’t happened yet but it’s probably possible
There are also big variables that general relativity predicts but that we don’t know much about, like dark matter, which suggest potential for an alternative or updated model.
For most of our use cases, though, it has a lot of utility and seems to be super accurate
That’s true. But also, for 99.9% of physics problems people use day to day, Newton’s model works great.
If people need the “relativistic model” of gender to understand their own situation, i.e. if they’re intersex, thats great and im glad thats available. But theres no need for people to account for relativity if they’re just trying to determine how fast a pendulum is swinging or something, and if someone meets the generally accepted definition of male or female biological sex (which 99.9% of people do), i dont think there’s much need to complicate things.
Indeed its a model. A somewhat accurate model. BUT An outdated one
Like I think about it like this .
We have newton’s model of the gravitational equation, right? Its just a model .A somewhat accurate model… But An outdated model.
…Then we have Einstein’s… which is far more accurate.
And who knows? Who is to say thar einstein’s model is COMPLETELY accurate? There could be faults in it we havent encountered yet
