Not being a mathematician or a physicist my engineering brain says that all the "laws" are just useful models to be discarded or enhanced when we find a better one.
Personally I manage with the much simplified gravity model of "stuff falls down so wear shoes".
I was particularly annoyed by my first year electrical engineering mathematics who not only wanted me to memorise proofs of things like Laplace Transforms but waited 2 more years to explain how certain things were relavent to electrical engineering.
Rather than memorising proofs we'd have been better off learning when a Fourier transform is an insufficient approximation for moving between time and frequency and how Laplace could be used in those scenarios instead.
