Author Topic: is it possible for the "laws" of physics to be broken by anything  (Read 1272 times)

what made me ask this question is the singularity of black holes, which led me to believe that it isnt possible, and that a black hole's singularity causes objects to become maximum-density to the point its percieved as if matter is being destroyed

so what if a star for say in relativity to a black hole is like oxygen in the atmosphere of earth to the 1000000000000x the density of the iron core of earth which is probably even more than that number

to my thinking this sounds like the best answer but its probably something else

You lost me.

In response to the title, the laws of physics wouldn't be laws if they could be broken, but that's science. Things constantly change.

nope not possible at all
as far as we know

I wouldn't say broken, but laws can certainly be disproved/changed  as technology progresses.

the laws are set to our current understanding, when something "breaks" the laws of physics, it means that that current definition of the law of physics is wrong

Yes
The punishment for breaking them is a €100 fine and rewriting the laws to accomidate for that action being possible

The laws are constraints by which the universe operates. If a law is broken, it's because it's defined incorrectly

the laws of physics can be changed if you appeal to a higher dimension and legislation is passed


As far as I know, the only law of physics that could not ever be broken is the speed of light, at least by ordinary matter.

Well duh, god can break the laws of physics, and if you don't believe that you're going to HELL

-Laws are only applicable on a local scale.

-Everything we create laws for in our observable universe are virtually unbreakable.

-Laws of physics can only be broken through major error or breakthroughs. If that doesn't happen, the laws will stay laws for a seriously long time.

-Everything we create laws for outside our observable universe are not credible enough to be trusted and are therefore not laws, but instead theories.

-All physics and scientific publishing for educational or professional use are confirmed through several months or years of hardened testing, as well as evidence that they are unable to be defied or broken.

-Hardened laws of physics, such as Newton's laws of motion, are super broad and are unbreakable for that exact reason; the broadness of the laws allows for errors to occur at smaller levels. Any flaws in these laws are regarded as anomalies.

-Anomalies of physics are immediately studied and theories are published regarding such probable exceptions.

-Further study of such theories result in scientific laws being amended.

Yeah, Blockland Vehicle Physics break it all!

as opposed to unordinary matter
i wonder what that would be like

Yeah, Blockland Vehicle Physics break it all!
clever

Yeah, Blockland Vehicle Physics break it all!
If our physics were blockland physics, we'd be exploring the outer edges of the known universe by now.

Also car accidents wouldn't exist, since all they do is bounce around and also the change in velocity doesn't break your spine (???)
