Well, that is the point of physical laws, to be able to predict what
will happen in a particular circumstance, even if that circumstance
has never been tried before. This is what allows us to design things
that haven't been made before, and they work as designed.

He did. But you see, Einstein had more information than Newton did. He
knew about certain things that had been revealed by nature and our
measurements of nature that indicated that there was more to it than
Newton thought.

The important thing is that Einstein didn't just say, "Well, what if
that law is wrong? What if we just suppose it's different? Say, Y
instead of X?" Nor did he say, "Well, every physical law we have is
bound to be broken at some point, so let's just say on faith that this
one is broken too, and start working on inventing something that
proves that it's broken."

A physical law is assumed to hold until there is evidence from nature
otherwise. A scientist does not *assume* that a physical law is broken
from the outset by something yet undiscovered, like what you are
doing.

You live in a little comic-book dream that you think is science.
