Is this progression truly linear?
The laws are just explanations for everything around us that we know of so far, and thus are subject to change as we know more and more, so in a way we define these laws not the other way around. From our limited knowledge of quantum physics we have already seen that our observation and actions do effect the universe, so can we really claim that what we have is what it was meant to be? can we be certain that probabilities are only an illusion? Maybe all of us are the origins of our own universes having free will within the scope of that universe (translation: free-will is subjective, my opinion)!
