The fundamental laws of physics do not describe true facts about reality. Rendered as descriptions of facts, they are false; amended to be true, they lose their explanatory force.

Today we say that the law of relativity is supposed to be true at all energies, but someday somebody may come along and say how stupid we were.
The law in question asserts, that the quantity of force which can be brought into action in the whole of Nature is unchangeable, and can neither be increased nor diminished.
Every fundamental law has exceptions. But you still need the law or else all you have is observations that don't make sense. And that's not science. That's just taking notes.
The ability to reduce everything to simple fundamental laws does not imply the ability to start from those laws and reconstruct the universe.
As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.
The correct statement of the laws of physics involves some very unfamiliar ideas which require advanced mathematics for their description. Therefore, one needs a considerable amount of preparatory training even to learn what the words mean.
Facts are not science - as the dictionary is not literature.
The mathematical facts worthy of being studied are those which, by their analogy with other facts, are capable of leading us to the knowledge of a physical law.
There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths.
Science makes no pretension to eternal truth or absolute truth.
