What's not wrong? Classical Physics?
Classical Physics is wrong! But it is a good approximation for the macroscopic world - for things with a mass of 0.000001 kg to 10,000,000,000 kg and that travel at 0.000001 m/s to 100,000,000 m/s in time frames of 0.000001 s to 100,000,000 s. Once outside these boundries, the faults of Classical Physics starts to break down and are readily observable. Actually they are apparent well within these boundries, if you know where to look. Look at a blue sky and look at the 'floaters' and the diffraction effects. Easily explained by quantum mechanics. Impossible by classical physics.
Of course Quantum and Relativity are also wrong - but not as wrong as CP. Q and R are both 'right' within their respective boundries, but fail outside and also need to be reconsiled with each other. But so far no one has come up with a 'Grand Unified Theory' that is better. String Theory was a good attempt, but has inherent faults that are greater than those of Q and R.
