Loading...There doesn’t have to be just 1 set of physical laws
Quantum mechanics and general relativity are currently battling it out because SOME people assume there should only be one winner – why not infinite sets of laws to describe the universe, why are we obsessed with finding a single coherent set of laws. I mean we have 1 world that works fine with countless sets of differing laws, some that work with others, and some that don’t. I propose that today we are trying to escape up a tower built on way too many assumptions. We were happier with Gods, not God.
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.
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
