The way people learn about atoms is basically a series of nested "this isn't exactly correct but understanding it like this helps you comprehend whatever we're learning", because electrons are so crazy that we had to expand our definitions of basic principles further and further to explain the fucked up shit they do.
Classical physics is another one. It's appropriate for everything you possibly fathom, but increasingly, modern technologies require some additional compensation for time and space dilation.
Wait what? I actually want the "okay, so" on this.
It's been a while since I took Modern physics, so take my yammerings with a grain of salt. You want to know more about the atomic model or relative physics?
