I have collected numerous quotes from physicists who have thought along these lines here: https://alwaysasking.com/why-does-anything-exist/#Why_Laws and here: https://alwaysasking.com/why-does-anything-exist/#Observation_as_Fundamental Here are a couple examples: "The top down approach we have described leads to a profoundly different view of cosmology, and the relation between cause and effect. Top down cosmology is a framework in which one essentially traces the histories backwards, from a spacelike surface at the present time. The no boundary histories of the universe thus depend on what is being observed, contrary to the usual idea that the universe has a unique, observer independent history. In some sense no boundary initial conditions represent a sum over all possible initial states." -- Stephen Hawking <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Hawking> and Thomas Hertog <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Hertog> in “*Populating the landscape: A top-down approach <https://journals.aps.org/prd/pdf/10.1103/PhysRevD.73.123527>*” (2006) "It is an attempt to explain the Goldilocks factor by appealing to cosmic self-consistency: the bio-friendly universe explains life even as life explains the bio-friendly universe. […] Cosmic bio-friendliness is therefore the result of a sort of quantum post-selection effect extended to the very laws of physics themselves." -- Paul Davies <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Davies> in “*The flexi-laws of physics <https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg19426101-300-the-flexi-laws-of-physics/>*” (2007) Jason On Tue, Dec 27, 2022 at 4:52 PM <spudboy...@aol.com> wrote: > A well-covered essay you have there, Jason. > > This almost goes to the essays by a few physicists which asks, "Are there > any laws?" > I would say yes, or perhaps evolving laws in an evolving cosmos?
