When we study something with our physics theory, we may always ignore some "unimportant" factors to simplify the culculation.And then, we get a approximation. But if we don't ingore any factors, we will get the absolutely accurate result. Is it possible?
I think the physics theory isn't suit the real word well. For example, The theory of classical mechanics say that by using the equation F=ma, we can "theoretically" describe all the mechanics phenomenon in the universe. But in fact, when we do it practically, we will find it is very very difficult, or actually impossible.(Even if there is no relativity effcet in the real world.) For example, we have talked a lot about horizontal cast movement, and the equation to describe it is very simple.But when we thrown a ball horizontally in the real world, things will be much more complex. The air, the geomagnetic field, the sun---all the thing in the universe will have a effect on it. So, strictly say, we can do nothing with our physics theory practically, is it?
So, can there be a theory that can accurately describe the real world? Since every thing will be influenced by all other things in the universe, can't we creat a theory that never study a phenomenon separately,but just study the whole universe? And if so, can there be no appriximation when we study the real world pratically with the new theory?
