Laws of Sciences May Not be the Same Elsewhere in Other Worlds

 

Are the laws of science ubiquitous throughout the entire dimension of the Universe? 

Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation for instance controlling the motions of the planets and heavenly bodies and the Sun and Moon is constant as far as we know. The gravitational attraction between two bodies depends on the sum of their masses and inversely as the square of their distances is based on a gravitational constant at 6.67408 × 10^-11 m³ kg^-1 s^-2

A simple example is our tides that sweep round the Earth twice a day depend on the tidal force of gravity of the Moon on Earth. The Moon together with the Sun at varying angles of alignment cause Spring and Neap tides. 

Most of these laws in physics hold true for nearby bodies, and even for stellar systems within the Milky Way Galaxy. For instance, based on these known laws, a lot of exoplanets discovered outside our Solar System were due to the effects of gravity on light called microlensing. 

A microlensing exoplanet is a planet orbiting a star other than our own Sun that is detectable due to the effects that the gravitational field of its planetary system has on the passing light of a distant background star. The microlensing technique is particularly well-suited to finding low-mass planets and planets around distant or very dim stars.

An example is the Einstein ring or Einstein–Chwolson ring created when light from a galaxy or star passes by a massive object on the way to the Earth. The light is bent due to gravity called ‘gravitational lensing’ and diverted, making it seem to come from different places. The light appears as a ring.

Standard Model: 

Even  the Standard Model in astrophysics  and particle physics describing three of the four known fundamental forces - the electromagnetic, weak, and strong interactions (omitting gravity) in the universe, as well as classifying all known elementary particles extending to our understanding throughout the latter half of the 20th century with the current formulation being finalized in the mid-1970s upon experimental confirmation of the existence of quarks and top quark (1995), the tau neutrino (2000), and the Higgs boson (2012) still left a lot of questions unanswered even when the Standard Model has predicted various W and Z bosons with great accuracy.

For instance, the Standard Model does not entirely clarify baryon asymmetry. It also does not include the full theory of gravitation as described by general relativity, nor does it account for the accelerating expansion of the Universe. Additionally, does not integrate neutrino oscillations and their non-zero masses among others. 

Many of these findings and laws may not even apply elsewhere near the edge or beyond the edge of the Universe?

 

Scientific Laws Outside Our Worlds:

 

But do this and other laws in physics and in other branches of sciences too hold true in other remote parts of the Universe tens of billions of light years away?

Remember the Observable Universe is colossally and incalculably huge, spanning a diameter of at least 27.6 billion light years. Some estimates put it as high as 93 billion light years across?

We estimate that the Observable Universe has more than 100 billion galaxies. In our Milky Way alone there are 300 billion stars and astronomers put current estimates of the total stellar population at roughly 70 billion trillion (7 x 10²²).

More recent estimates have up-graded the number of galaxies in the observable universe to 2 trillion, though many of these are tiny, fluffy galaxies with fewer stars. If the typical galaxy had 100 billion stars, then there would be 2 x 10²³ stars in the observable universe, three times as much as earlier, and perhaps at least 10 or more habitable Earth-like earths within the Goldilocks Zone in each stellar system.

In such a colossal scale does our earthly laws in physics and other sciences remain the same throughout the Universe? 

Even in biology and chemistry life on Earth is carbon-based, mainly because each carbon atom can form bonds with up to four other atoms simultaneously. This attribute makes carbon well-suited to form long chains of molecules that serve as the basis for life as we know it, such as proteins and sugars

However, there are also proposals that silicon-based life elsewhere in the Universe may also be possible as the next alternative to carbon?

My Personal Thinking:

 

Oftentimes  I have thought whether or not all those various physical, chemical and biological laws we know on Earth apply in other worlds beyond ours?

For instance, we assume that the laws of gravity applies throughout the Universe, or the laws of biology and life are the same as in other worlds such as  we look for water as signs of the existence of life in stellar systems harbouring Earth-like planets within the Goldilocks Zone

The same with the laws in chemistry where we cannot change one element to another like the alchemists tried to do using the Philosopher's Stone to  transmute lead into gold, and their attempts to discover  the Elixir of Life to bestow immortality on the person who possessed it

Most of these laws in all branches of sciences, from physics, chemistry, biology and even in medicine we only assume would be exactly the same in the untold myriads of other worlds across the 93 billion light years of our Universe

I gave this another thought only this morning using the miracles Jesus created who showed us the contrary when He came to our world

Miracles of Jesus that Defy All Laws of Sciences:

For instance, Jesus clearly told us His kingdom is NOT of this world (John 18:36) and also Jesus revealed:

'in my Father's house (in another world) are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you' (John 18:36).

Jesus came from another world where all our laws in sciences from biology, life, chemistry and physics do not apply on Earth. He clearly demonstrated these by defying all known laws in science when He brought His laws from another world to show us they exist with these miracles

Let us now have a look at some examples in chemistry where we know that it is not possible to change or transmute one element to another, let alone an inorganic compound like water into an organic compound like wine. But Jesus did it.

 In  the gospel of John 2:1-11 he described how Jesus turned water into wine at a wedding in Cana, not just a few drops, but six large stone water jugs, the kind used during ceremonial washing, each holding from 20 to 30 gallons.

How did He do it by defiling one of the most unmovable laws in chemistry as we know them on Earth

I have written a short article on Jesus First Miracle here:

https://scientificlogic.blogspot.com/search?q=jesus+first+miracle

In biology too we read in John 11:38-44 how Jesus Raises Lazarus from the dead

It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. “Take away the stone,” he said.

“But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odour, for he has been there four days.”

Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”

So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me.

I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.” (from another world to this world of ours)

When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face.

Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”

This very complex miracle is a combination of biology and chemical laws that are fixed and unchangeable probably only in our world

When I was reading forensic science at Cambridge, I bought a book on what happens to the chemistry in a living body when death comes

The chemical changes are complex and lengthy and completely irreversible during death to describe here, but we may have a brief idea here:

"Chemical Decomposition taking place after death"

https://www.chem.fsu.edu/chemlab/chm1020c/Lecture%208/03.php

But Lazarus was already dead for 4 days, and we can imagine the state of chemical decomposition already in place, and these broken down molecules are completely irreversible

But Jesus reversed them and literally commanded all the molecules to reverse themselves in the tomb and come together again, that's not just defiance of the laws of chemistry, but also biological laws too by pumping back life into Lazarus dead body. 

Another account where Jesus raises the dead was found in Luke, Mathew and Mark.

“Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, “Don’t cry.”

 “Then he went up and touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”  The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.

(Matthew 9:18, Matthew 9:23–26, Mark 5:21–24, Luke 7:11-17, Luke 8:40–42)

An example in physics  where the law of gravity does not apply to Jesus is found in these verses where He walked on water.

"Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd.  After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.  When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.

 

But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”

 “Come,” he said.

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.  But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”

And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” 

(Matthew 14:22–33; Mark 6:45 – 51; John 6:16 -21).

And of course, in medicine the numerous occasions how He heals the sick, the blind, the paralyzed, and the woman who has been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years,  and though she had spent all she had on physicians, no one could cure her. She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of his clothes, and immediately her hemorrhage stopped (Luke 8:43 - 48), among others by instantly reversing the pathology of diseases by just His touch or His words. 

All these miracles defiled the various laws of medicine and sciences and are far beyond  the best of our scientific understanding. 

Awesome, awesome, simple awesome at least to my understanding.

Another example in biology, food and in nutrition was when He multiplied food which once had life in them until we killed it as food, was when He multiplied 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread to feed 5,000 people who went up a mountain to hear His Sermons of the Mount (Matthew 14:13-21). In short, He was able to create food from life to feed all 5,000 people

Having thought of the above possibility before penning the above article, then just 2 days ago I found new findings that the laws of physics may not be the same in other reaches of this Universe as scientists found in the references below:

Discoveries in science are always evolving beyond even the previous thoughts of Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein.

Can a Combination of Natural Anti-Parasitic Medicines be Used Againist Covid-19 Pandemic ?

 

I was thinking since there is so much objections by FDA, WHO and Ministries of Health throughout the world, and other health authorities for ivermectin to be used for Covid-19, why not use this antiparasitic drug in its natural form since the use traditional or complementary medicine is encouraged and recognized by all countries throughout the world, including WHO and FDA and they will have no objection if medicines are used in their natural form. 

Allow me to explain.

 A Japanese scientist by the name of Omura was studying a group of soil bacteria called Streptomyces, which also gave us the antibiotic streptomycin when he isolated new strains of Streptomyces from thousands of soil samples and successfully cultured 50 of them in the laboratory which was later found to produce the natural form of ivermectin, the name given for the current synthetic form.

Working separately was Irish-born researcher William Campbell, an expert parasitologist who discovered avermectin in this group, and avermectin is the natural form of ivermectin against parasites.

It was avermectin that was synthesized into ivermectin, which works against the parasites that cause river blindness and lymphatic filariasis, also called elephantiasis affects 100 million people around the world.

Similarly, chloroquine and its derivative hydroxychloroquine are also antiparasitic drugs against the malarial parasite and is almost similar to the natural form quinine found in cinchona bark. 

Although natural quinine is not exactly the same as synthetic chloroquine and later hydroxychloroquine, developed in the 1950s from chloroquine, all three have a chemical structure in that they contain a ring system known as a quinoline.

Historically, hydroxychloroquine was discovered during efforts to synthesise alternatives to quinine as anti-malarials. 

They are all anti-parasitic malarial drugs, but we have not much information if quinine can be used as an anti-covid virus agent although it was also claimed that chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are also effective against covid, and both chloroquine and ivermectin are anti-parasitic synthetic drugs, something common among them. 

Now we have another Chinese pharmacologist from China by the name of Youyou Tu who discovered another natural herbal medicine called arteminisin extracted from a plant called Artemisia annua which worked so-well against malaria for which she, Youyou Tu, Omura and William Campbell won the prestigious Nobel Prize in Medicine or in Physiology.

It looks like to me at least these natural anti-parasitic medicines – quinine (from the bark of cinchona tree), avermectin (from the soil), and arteminisn from the plant (Artemisia annua) may hold the key to this Covid problem that has plagued the best scientific and medical minds for almost 3 years now (2018 – 2021).

If the combination of all these 3 natural medicines is effective, and since natural, complementary and traditional medicine are recognized throughout the world including WHO, FDA wouldn’t this combination be far better than just synthetic chloroquine, ivermectin working alone.

I am sure none of these authoritative bodies have any objections for these 3 combination natural medicines to be used against Covid?

The problem with FDA is, they allow natural medicines to be used freely, but not if they are made into their synthetic form for which FDA demands tens of thousands of pages of data on safety and efficacies that take teams of scientific experts working for 10 to 18 years in drug companies to produce.

I don’t think this is practical or fair.

Allow me to give just one simple example, using aspirin.

Aspirin was originally from a natural medicine extracted from the white willow bark. Willow bark extract has been used for thousands of years as an anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic.

The use of willow bark dated back to the time of the Greek physician, Hippocrates of Kos (c. 460 - c. 370 BC), the Father of Medicine when he advised people to chew on the bark to reduce fever and inflammation. 

This bark has also been used throughout the centuries in China and Europe, and continues to be used today for the treatment of pain specially low back pain and osteoarthritis, headache, and inflammatory conditions, such as bursitis and tendinitis.

The bark of white willow contains salicin, which is a chemical similar to aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid).  Other powerful anti-inflammatory compounds called flavonoids in white willow bark, working together with salicin are responsible for the pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects of the herb. In fact, in the 1800s, salicin was used to develop aspirin.

The body converts salicin in willow bark to salicylic acid, which in its synthetic form is called acetylsalicylic acid or aspirin. But there is a difference.

Although willow bark extracts are generally standardized to salicin, other ingredients in the extracts including other salicylates as well as polyphenols, and flavonoids may also play prominent roles in the therapeutic actions. Adverse effects appear to be minimal as compared to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs including aspirin.

Of course, aspirin is a very old drug in prominent use in conventional allopathic till today, and does not require further consent from FDA anymore.

But suppose aspirin was synthesised today, it will still need all those horrendously lengthy data to be submitted to FDA for approval.

But if natural salicin from white willow bark were to be used as a traditional medicine, it will go through straight away without any need for clearance and license from the FDA, but not aspirin if it is newly synthesized

The irony is, what then is the difference between synthetic aspirin and natural salicin when once consumed, the body converts it into aspirin-like salicylic acid to give exactly, if not even better pharmacological outcome.

In fact, salicin from white willow bark just like in all natural medicines, although slower in action, is not only much safer, but its action is far more long-lasting than the synthetic versions. 

In fact around 70 percent of all new drugs introduced in the United States in the past 25 years have been derived from natural products, according to reports of a study published in the March 23 issue of the Journal of Natural Products.

In summary, consider the combination of anti-parasitic natural quinine, avermectin, and possibly even antimalarial arteminisn to be used against Covid-19

It may be worthwhile a study based on these observations that antiparasitic drugs may also exhibit antivirus actions.
