The universe might be complex, might even be too complex for human understanding but equations that describe the qualities of the real everyday comprehesible universe are going to be both more useful and more enlightening to most adults let alone children. You do not need to examine the intricate behaviour of the internal combustion engine to understand the simpler side of things involved in driving a car. Obviously there is a place for quantum mechanics and they have a office in some building to examine important obscure and dull equations of their own making. I was astounded by math as a grew older and its power to do some amazing things, almost like magic, but it'd be a waste and have put me off to introduce calculus before I hated football. Strangest thing about reality is that it is comprehensible. Push that too far and you doing that dunning-krugger thing of overestimating your audience. Before you know there's generation passed and a doubling of star trek pyschobabble on the geek forums and half the amount of intelligible information.
