I’m not talking about physics being different in different places. I’m talking about the signal we are getting from far away quite likely being altered between its origin and when it gets to us. Different branches of science have vastly different degrees of certainty. I don’t feel there is sufficient effort put towards communicating this well to the public, especially with respect to the Big Bang, and that annoys me because lay people seem to use it as a factual version of an origin myth when really it probably isn’t any more factual than any other random myth you could pick. It’s very irresponsible to replace the cultural origin myth, which is psychologically important to humans. The whole “explosion from nothing” myth may actually be contributing to modern people’s feelings of meaninglessness.
