Are you so sure? Universe change. It is kind of organism, a living system, something with an history. It begins with a bang and maybe will finish with a great cold. Entropy. And being different the amounts of available energy, perhaps change the laws that rule the behaviour of its elements. I believe part of our ilusion that universe is like a steady mechanism comes from the infinite abyms between our temporal rythm and that of the universe. Example: solar system seems the very portrait of regularity, at the point we can create models that forecast eclipses and so on, but fact the scope of time we observe and calculate is so a tiny fraction of the total evolutionary history of that system that what we do is just looking a second of it. Like observing a human being from one second to the next and then to think it will be always the same and subjected to the same rules of behaviour. In very great lapses of time perhaps even the way matter interact can change to some point, but of course we will not know. It could happens in 10 millions years. Or 100. For the time being universe is, for us, almost an static thing we can understand with available science. For us, is what it is, a permanent and regular thing. For itself, it is a dynamic and changeable entity and we cannot know how it will behave in a really distant future. Maybe it will be understable with the same laws, but maybe not. We should take this discussion again in the next 10 million years and see... My best fernando
