I Changing or breaking the most fundamental laws and symmetries?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the possibility of theoretical processes, such as vacuum decay and inflation theory, that could alter the physical constants of the universe or lead to the formation of bubble universes with different laws of nature. It raises the question of whether there could be a process capable of fundamentally rewriting all known laws and symmetries of physics, potentially governed by chaos and randomness. While the idea of infinite energy density is proposed as a hypothetical scenario that could lead to such changes, no observational evidence currently supports this notion. The conversation emphasizes the need for empirical data or a viable theoretical framework to substantiate these speculations. Ultimately, the thread concludes that without such evidence, the discussion remains speculative and is therefore closed.

TL;DR Summary
Could somehow the fundamental laws and symmetries of physics change or be broken?
There are some theoretical processes (like vacuum decay in quantum field theory) that could change the physical constants of the universe. Similarly, in inflation theory, various models predict that multiple regions that would stop inflating would become "bubble universes" perhaps with different constants of nature. Something similar happens with string theory landscape of vacua...

But could there be any process that would fundamentally rewrite every fundamental law that we know? Any process that would break every symmetry and law of physics that we can think of and just absolute randomness and chaos would govern? Perhaps, and this is just a gedankenexperiment, a situation where an infinite amount of energy exist or where there is an infinite amount of energy density could do it?

There could be. Nothing of the sort has ever been observed but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen tomorrow.

However, such speculation is idle without either observational evidence or a candidate theory not at odds with the observational evidence we already have, so this thread is closed.

Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'
This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...
Why do two separately floating objects in a liquid "attract" each other ?? What if gravity is an emergent property like surface tension ? What if they both are essentially trying to *minimize disorder at the interfaces — where non-aligned polarized particles are forced to mix with each other* What if gravity is an emergent property that is trying to optimize the entropy emerging out of spin aligned quantum bits
