2 days agoAsk Ethan: Does nature need to obey laws at all?
The Universe's fundamental laws and constants remain unchanged across space and time, despite the variety of structures formed throughout cosmic evolution.
There's a statement that one can make that would have been completely non-controversial at the end of the 19th century, but many people both in and out of science would argue against it today. Consider for yourself how you feel about it: "The fundamental laws that govern the smallest constituents of matter and energy, when applied to the Universe over long enough cosmic timescales, can explain everything that will ever emerge."
