The laws of physics havn't been completely decided. The arrogance of this post is enraging.
- danbruc 8y agoI never claimed that we figured out all the laws of nature but we certainly know a lot about them. And among the things we know are limits on things we may not have discovered. If there was, for example, a yet undiscovered fifth force, then it would have to have tiny effects because otherwise we would have noticed it in past experiments. There is no chance we would have missed anything that could enable remote viewing or something along that line.
