    They just directly translated the Japanese title for the UK (and everywhere except North America). It’s possible that focus group testing led to the dumbed down version, but it’s also possible they just assumed the simpler title would appeal more to Americans.

    But yeah, it is likely a reference to Newton.

      Physics is available all over the place though, not limited to the UK.

        As far as we can tell, physics is still not available in Florida. I think they’re upgrading their infrastructure to accept it soon, though.

          Not if DeSantis gets his way! One of his campaign promises is to ban all physics. It’s one of the biggest problems corrupting our children!
