Laws of physics vary throughout Universe?

I like Kai's use of "Amplitude" because it implies a measurement, and not the thing being measured.  Since all we can really know about quantum events are the measurements we make, it's better to say that than make a declaration about what it is we're measuring.

What this suggests is pretty cool, IMO.

in psych, the Fundamental Attribution Error is where you form an impression of somebody based on a very limited interaction with them. If you meet somebody, and he's being a jerk that day, you're going to think of that person as a jerk, even if he's nice on the other 6 days of the week. In short, we tend to overstate the importance of the knowledge we have.

I've always wondered if we make the same kind of mistakes in physics. We're only observing a very small sliver of the universe, and it's possible a lot of the conclusions we've drawn are based on relatively localized phenomena.


just goes to show... the more you know ... the more you know you don't know. 

My thought as well... Science is about describing what we observe. We observe a tiny fraction of the Universe, so it wouldn't be surprising to find wild inaccuracies in our current descriptions as we observe more data. Yay, more data! Of course, these guys are welsh, so....

(really what Kai said comes very close to Fred's profile title thingy)
