How Did Newton's Laws Take Off?

We don't expect any of our knowledge to be completely true. Knowledge doesn't have to be true, it just has to contain some truth,. enough to be useful. And so what's an example of a mem that could be reproduced, but is basically not true and does not conform with the values we believe in? Two in some one understand the world better. Richard dawkins's favourite example of this was religions. Most religions are means and that they are false. We know Newton's laws were thought to be the last word in mechanics for hundreds of years. They were overturned by einstein relativity and by quontum theory. Now thatthat they are still knowledge.
