Models can breakdown at huge scales because they introduce other non-representative factors or nonlinear responses. Sending an astronaut to the center of the Sun and concluding their death is from radiation would be a pretty bad model. Hitting a person with a car would be a pretty bad model for a fly landing on them. The first model is bad because the sun is doing more than just exposing them to radiation. The second model is bad because there's a nonlinear response to force applied to a human body. |
