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.
