Are the laws of physics set in stone?

Most laypeople think of the laws of physics as something like the Ten Commandments—rules governing the behavior of matter imposed by some great lawgiver in the sky. However, no stone tablet has ever been found upon which such laws were either naturally or supernaturally inscribed.

Is the future set in stone?

The short answer to this question is “no.” At any given moment in time, future exists as multiple possibilities — none of which is set in stone — until one of these possibilities becomes real.

Are the laws of nature set in stone?

‘Even a slight change in the laws of Nature means they weren’t ‘set in stone’ when our Universe was born. ‘The laws of Nature you see may depend on your “space-time address” – when and where you happen to live in the Universe.’

Do the laws of biology and geology evolve?

Note regarding your claim about biology and geology — the laws of biology and geology do not evolve, much like the laws of physics (including those of biology and geology) don’t evolve. Biological and geological structures evolve, much like physical structures (including biological and geological ones) evolve.

Can you prove that the laws of Physics evolve?

It is not the laws of Physics that evolve, it is our understanding of them which does. Well, I cannot prove that there exist constant a priori laws that the Universe obeys, but I sure have elevated this practically to an axiomatic state within my worldview.

Are the laws of Physics different depending on where you are?

The laws of physics may not be as set in stone as previously imagined. One of the laws of nature seems to vary depending on where in the universe you are, research suggests. The new analysis of data from Hawaii’s Keck telescope and Chile’s Extremely Large Telescope, could have profound implications for our understanding of the universe.
