So, to paraphrase: It works exceedingly well, except when it doesn't work

If physics was enough to build something, the engineers wouldn't 
study other applicable/practical disciplines and wouldn't need to 
experiment a lot; not to mention that all tires would be made of more 
or less the same material, so one company would hire chemistry 
specialists, the rest - industrial spies :-)

All knowledge is a bunch of relative truths and I thought that the 
conquest for an absolute truth has at least subsided as of late, 
despite the hope that it can make our lives nice and simple...

Anyway, I don't know the whole truth either
Have a good weekend yeall!
