Newton thought that absolute space and time was mathematical. Einstein showed that relative space and time was mathematical. But both Einstein and Newton acknowledged space and time had both absolute and relative natures. This just goes to show my understanding of physics runs pretty deep, if not very wide. I would agree with you that acknowledging that absolute and relative require each other like Newton and Einstein did isn't necessary to do physics. But to have an understanding of the universe as deep as Newton or Einstein requires a more complex notion of space and time than the common and naive notion of a single nature.
