I can change the laws of physics whenever I fancy, but cannae change the laws of nature, which they try to describe – so sorry wee Jimmy, you’re wrong.
There are 2 currently, and they don’t mix but so what? Who says they should fit each other. I get you. In one situation one set of laws wins, in another the other does. Just like jurisdiction in criminal laws and rules in languages. Scientists are intent on reductionalism at all costs but the Universe may not be that simple. And it evidently isn’t.
Relativity v quantum mechanics – the battle for the universe
Physicists have spent decades trying to reconcile two very different theories. But is a winner about to emerge – and transform our understanding of everything from time to gravity?
Good point. Or any laws at all. “The good news is that string theory has no free parameters. It has no dials that can be turned. It doesn’t make sense to ask which string theory describes our universe, because there is only one.”
There Are No Laws of Physics. Thereâs Only the Landscape. | Quanta Magazine
Scientists seek a single description of reality. But modern physics allows for many different descriptions, many equivalent to one another, connected through a

Student Voice research has been carried out for The Children’s Commissioner in 16 schools in England with a reputation for excellent student voice practice. The schools studied have very different circumstances and take a variety of approaches to student voice, but these approaches share some imp... Read more

Dirac was a Genius, he would love youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IpNEzucNyo maybe, heh 🙂
Watch this…
They may be variable, or just the constants of nature could be variable, that could lead to what we have today.

Pasting the link as a comment so it shows the video you mentioned. Interesting to say the least.
Read this before you fall for the popular rhetoric on youtube though.

Alpha, may give us a lawless universe.
Good point. Or any laws at all. “The good news is that string theory has no free parameters. It has no dials that can be turned. It doesn’t make sense to ask which string theory describes our universe, because there is only one.”
The laws of physics are just very compact restatements of everything that happens in the universe
(2 upvotes)There doesn’t have to be just 1 set of physical laws

The rest of the world could learn a thing or two from the UK here. It teaches kids about voting and what people do to try to sway your opinion.
Having a right to affect your own life is laid out by law – which is why many schools have councils. They are a great thing and should be universal.

Not that his constituents are going to change his voting habits though.
I read it, its good, though he has got better at telling stories of late. Highly recommended, he’s as hot as it gets for a physicist.
‘The Quantum Universe: Everything that can happen does happen’
Looks like Cox has pinched this phrase and murphy’s law for a publication, though it doesn’t get a great review here.
Brian Cox nails this one right here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNfWKARlhEM
by saying some thing CAN happen, physical laws mean that it MUST happen, thats what a law is for.

Amazing these are legal and allowed in food. Here’s what the experts say…
