This kind of statement is just as absurd as saying "God did it" for everything we don't understand.

- kaens 18y agoNo, it is not. If we discover something that appears to disobey physical laws, then we clearly either don't understand the laws that it disobeys and need to re-examine their definitions, or are making a problem in observation of the phenomenon.
- yters 18y agoIsn't the phrase "physical laws" redundant then?
- jordyhoyt 18y agoSo your dogma here is that everything obeys physical laws that are never broken. Although things seem to always act in a certain way, we have no reason to believe that all laws will always hold. Of course, that is an assumption I must regularly make in order to be sane, but it is nothing more than that: an assumption that the experiment I carried out yesterday will (all things being equal) have the same results today.
