Why do the laws of physics exist similarly everywhere? What if they don't? How do we know one way or the other? Can we be sure that the laws of physics are the same outside of the known universe?
Why are there 4 fundamental forces? Gravity, electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force. What if there aren't 4 separate things and instead there's a unifying theory that defines all of the emergent rules? Kind of like Conway's Game of Life, but for physics. And we are just looking at the derivative patterns rather than the root defining rules.
In a program, you can write code, and sometimes, things can go wrong, and because things can go wrong, you need to do exception handling. Maybe you can break the laws of physics. Maybe some sort of error will happen.
What enforces the laws of physics? Where are the laws of physics stored? Why are they what they are now, and not something else? Why is the speed of light approximately 300,000 km/s? If you had root access to the universe, could you redefine constants like pi and the speed of light and Euler's number?
Why do the laws of physics exist?
What are your thoughts on the second law of thermodynamics? It really bothers me. It's so depressing to think about the heat death of the universe. But then again, people used to think that the sun revolved around the earth and not the other way around. So maybe we're wrong about thermodynamics and entropy.
