“Laws” are human constructs. Mental models of how we think the universe works. Models might be useful but they are not reality.

- mensetmanusman 5y agoWell things happening the same way everywhere is a sort of medium with rules. Although, some would argue the universe would cease to exist without humans to observe it (and initiate collapse :))
- mbrodersen 5y agoWe don’t know if things happen the same way everywhere. We also don’t even know what “everywhere” is. However we have mental models/laws that seems to approximate what our senses tell us in certain limited contexts. That makes the models useful.
- mensetmanusman 5y agoTrue, we don’t agree on what everywhere means. I guess I was confining myself to the observable limits of spacetime. Outside of that, who knows :)
