So what does adding up to normal mean?
It means that if you do not observe pink unicorns daily, no new weird and wonderful theory should claim that you should have. Or, as EY puts it "apples didn't stop falling, planets didn't swerve into the Sun". Another name for this is the correspondence principle.
If your ethics requires for you to be the first tune whistler in the multiverse, not just in this world, it's not a useful ethics.

The usefulness of the ethics (if that's the right standard to apply to an ethical idea) is not relevant to the example.
That is, unless you want to posit (and we should be super, super clear about this) that there is an a priori principle that any ethics capable of being contradicted by a true physical theory is not useful. But I very much doubt you want to say that.
I think modern physics pretty obviously doesn't add up to nor...
