The Constraints of Physical Law
#3
RE: The Constraints of Physical Law
We note the regularity of the observed universe as we observe it.
Except for the parts of the universe which we do not find regular.

Those we choose to call random, e.g. radioactive decay, could be results of regularity of unobserved variables. We can't tell.
Other dimensions, other universes, multiverses, multiverses of multiverses could (my speculation) exist but are to me the remote trees falling in the forest making no sound. If we can't ever observe these other spaces, do they exist? We find math very useful in building predictive models of our environs. Are there universes which would be better modeled using splerng?
Fortunately I don't feel I need to answer these questions. It's easier that way.

I believe that even God is limited by incompleteness. Exactly how would he know he was omniscient?
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh
