Two unrelated studies recently raised the same possibility: the laws of physics might not apply everywhere, which, if true, would upend an idea underpinning centuries of science.

I've repeatedly raised this issue in discussions on epistemology. We can't know for certain that what we take for granted as the laws of physics -- notably the core set of physical constants -- apply everywhere. Every inference we make about the rest of the universe assumes that the constants are constant. Sure, it seems to satisfy Occam's Razor. But so did classical physics until cases came up that proved classical physics doesn't apply at all scales.

As far as I'm concerned, it's all one big hologram. Or at least it could be.
