11. I see them working together

Einstein's theories were built not just on math, but on a series of shocking, inexplicable empirical observations by physicists, about light, electricity, atoms. So his theories were derived by induction, from observations of ... many concrete things.

As it turned out, those observations might hold for many, even all things, as a general observation. But if not? Then those laws hold for a small class of subatomic things.

As I currently hypothesize, in a preliminary way.

If some theories now seem factual, and not general explanations? Or vice versa? Those are shifting moments in an often ever-changing picture. That sometimes stresses one, and sometimes the other.
