Do the physical laws make up the constants?
Gold Barz said:Do the physical laws make up the constants?
Gold Barz said:Could it be that there is some reason why our universe has the value it does, but it could still theoretically have been different because that particular law is true for our universe, but not necessarily true for all possible universes? Universes with different constants different effects and interactions?
Gold Barz said:So would physical laws would differ from universe to universe? just throw out you best guess
Gold Barz said:I just read the abstract and conclusion and I still don't understand it fully.
Scientific constants are numerical values that do not change under different circumstances. Laws, on the other hand, are rules or principles that describe how the natural world behaves. Laws do not directly affect constants, but they can help us understand and predict the behavior of these constants in different situations.
No, laws cannot change constants. Constants are fundamental properties of the universe that remain constant no matter what laws are in place. However, new laws can be discovered or developed that better explain the behavior of existing constants.
Laws and constants are related in the sense that they both help us understand and describe the natural world. Laws provide a framework for understanding the behavior of constants, while constants provide a quantifiable measure for the behavior described by laws.
Constants are not always affected by laws. There are some constants, such as the speed of light, that are thought to be truly constant and do not change under any circumstances. Other constants, such as the gravitational constant, may vary slightly depending on the conditions in which they are measured.
Scientists determine the accuracy of constants by conducting experiments and observations that test the consistency of the constant with the laws that govern it. If the constant behaves as predicted by the laws, it is considered accurate. However, if there are discrepancies, it may indicate that either the laws or the constant need to be reevaluated.
