Would You Like to be a Space-Time Lawmaker?

In summary, the conversation discusses the idea of being a "space-time lawmaker" as a physicist who discovers a law about space-time. The participants speculate on the possibility and potential implications of such a role, with one suggesting that "Physics Legislator" or "First-man" would be more appropriate titles. They also mention the use of the term "law giver" in German and question the validity of new scientific discoveries and theories. The conversation ends with a mention of the case of Jan Hendrik Schoen and the difficulty of determining what is considered "known physics."

If you were a physicist studying the structure of space-time, and, by "chance", you found a law about this, would you like to be called a

space-time lawmaker ??

I don't think that's the kind of law that you can make, or even enforce for that matter. Discovery is pretty much all you can accomplish. :-p

sorry, i read just the title the first time, and it was funny, cause you were at the top of the thread list cause it was newest... then danger posted and you're at the top again... and now me... so yes, right now, this is the top!

Just a mere Physics Legislator, I think.

First-man will suffice.

Yes, because in German, it is often said : "diese sind Gesetze der Natur"..."the laws of nature"...but I didn't know that in english it was also usage to say : "law giver"...(remark that there is no financial aspect here)

Perhaps in this sort of instance it would be better to be a law-breaker than law-maker?

This is exactly the problem of "new science"...when are you allowed to say : this is true, but the old theory is wrong...and are you sure it is not esoterical stuff...Because I read the Decision of the Inquiry Comittee about the case Jan Hendrik Schoen, and one of the point was : "Does not use known physics"...I tried to asked them where they had access to a global database of "known physics"...but the responsible answered by the question "is this urgent.? if yes ask that other guy..."...I suppose he was in vacation...

FAQ: Would You Like to be a Space-Time Lawmaker?

What is a space-time lawmaker?

A space-time lawmaker is a hypothetical concept in which an individual has the ability to manipulate and control the laws of space and time. This would essentially give the person god-like powers to alter and change events in the past, present, and future.

What would be the responsibilities of a space-time lawmaker?

The responsibilities of a space-time lawmaker would be immense and would require a deep understanding of the laws of physics and the consequences of altering them. They would also have to consider the potential impact on the universe and its inhabitants before making any changes.

How would one become a space-time lawmaker?

Currently, there is no known way to become a space-time lawmaker as it is purely a theoretical concept. It is often discussed in science fiction and philosophical debates but has not been proven to be possible in reality.

What kind of laws would a space-time lawmaker be able to control?

A space-time lawmaker would have the ability to manipulate the fundamental laws of physics, such as gravity, matter, and energy. They could potentially change events in the past, present, or future, alter the course of history, or create new timelines.

What are the potential consequences of being a space-time lawmaker?

The consequences of being a space-time lawmaker are unknown and would depend on the actions and decisions of the individual. It could lead to major disruptions in the fabric of the universe and potentially have catastrophic effects on all of existence.
