Laws of physics 'are different' depending on where you are in the universe

The more we learn, the less we "know."  Evidently, it's all relative!  From the Daily Mail.  Excerpts:

The laws of physics may not be as set in stone as previously imagined.


One of the laws of nature seems to vary depending on where in the universe you are, research suggests.
..
The 'constancy' of physics is one of the most cherished principles in science - but the scientists say that the 'laws' we know may be the galactic equivalent of 'local by-laws' and things may work quite differently elsewhere.



The discovery - if true - violates one of the underlying principles of Einstein's theory of General Relativity, and has profound implications for our understanding of space and time.


The findings could mean that the universe is far bigger than we thought - possibly even infinite.

It also means that in other parts of the universe, the laws of physics might be hostile to life - whereas in our small part of it, they seem fine-tuned to supporting it.
And:
The researchers looked at 300 distant galaxies. The experiment found that the atoms in space behaved differently from ones on earth.



'The results astonished us,' said Professor Webb. 'In one direction - from our location in the Universe - alpha gets gradually weaker, yet in the opposite direction it gets gradually stronger.'


'The discovery, if confirmed, has profound implications for our understanding of space and time and violates one of the fundamental principles underlying Einstein's General Relativity theory,' Dr King added.

This is Big News.  It is now apparent that our entire institutional cosmological perspective is much, much narrower than previously thought.  Astonishingly so.  By making this great leap forward, we must also understand that, as much as we think we know, we don't know shit.  It is imperative that as many people possible globally keep their minds open, as wide as they can, beginning now.  Everything everywhere is changing, rapidly, Science and Spirit included.  Adapt, and prepare for a vast expansion of your, and our, consciousness.
