Scientists Claim Laws Of Physics Change Throughout The Universe

[theVOID]

Hey,

If I may interject, the laws of physics do change, but not in the universe versus here on the planet. It seems more, if I have interpreted it correctly, that the rules of physics are only the rules for a certain scale or size of reality. The rules we are stuck in are the macro-rules, for lack of a better name. The rules that microscopic materials follow, which I think are only slightly different than ours, work on that scale. The rules of nano-scale are very, very much different than our physics up here. Aluminium is highly explosive in nano particles. A sheet of aluminum foil is not. And the third level, also if I am not mistaken, is the quantum. Another distinction of space, time, and size. The rules of physics in the quantum realm are turned on their heads.

So I don't think that the universe has different rules per se, but that since it is at least a couple scale grades larger than us, it will have to function with slightly different physics. Snother way to explain is that all nano matieral follows certain rules everywhere. All maco material follows certain rules (of physics) everywhere else. I don't think we will find other galaxies with different rules, unless those galaxies are found through a micro- or telo-scope, and are in fact other renditions of this same presten reality.

A better way of putting it would be:

The indeterminacy and complexity of the subatomic world tends to wash out at at larger scales.

So essentially you are right, thought I think you over explained it to the point where your entire idea almost became nonsensical

This idea of the fine structure constant not being constant may have some merit, thought it remains to be seen - this after all was a rather complicated analysis of rather imprecise signals so unless a lot of careful attention was payed to the possible sources of interference the experiment could be a write-off.

Peer review for this one will be very interesting, thought i don't expect too much to come of it.
