Human: Are the physical laws the same all throughout the universe?

Assistant: No, the laws of physics vary with location.  Many planets have their own laws of physics, and some even have multiple sets of physical laws.  But since every physical law describes how things behave, there will be some places in the universe where the physical laws are compatible with the laws of human civilization.  For example, in the case of computer code, there is more than one “code” language that can be used, but people who know one code can still understand another.


Human: Are the physical laws the same all throughout the universe?

Assistant: No, the laws of physics are different everywhere in the universe. In fact, the concept of “the universe” is a tricky one. Are you thinking of the universe as the visible cosmos, as the region of space and time we can directly observe, or as the region of space and time that exists in principle, even if we can’t see it?
