I mean something as (relatively) basic as Relativity tore apart our understanding of time.
125 years ago none of this stuff was even remotely discussed. Time was time; the same as it has ever been and will ever be.
We know essentially a fraction of what we need to know to fully understand Relativity and even that small amount of information subjects every single bit of our understanding of historical time to scrutiny.
Once time became variable, all bets were off. And even Relativity as we understand it is unlikely to survive another 100 years. Someone will rip that asunder as well.
