Same as what the Physicists were left with after they moved from Newtonian
physics to Einstein.

Only Einstein does not actually rewrite Newton. 99% of the time it is
Newton's physics that are important and quantum mechanics and relativity
are irrelevant.

The cutting edge of a field MUST always focus on the parts that the
founders didn't get right or didn't get entirely right. Relativity is
actually a Newtonian concept it is at the heart of Newtonian gravity as
well. He just failed to determine that the speed of light was less than
infinite.
