Reply to comment by DudoVene in How are we sure that speed of light and other basic constants are really constants on a large cosmological scale of time and space? by The_Dark_Passenger93

I see your point there, excellent answer. The idea of a great breakthrough in physics always gives the goosebumps.

thanks. but honestly, this is mostly an intellectual effort. what actual physics can tell us about the universe is REALLY stunning and seems to answer anything better than any other approach (personnal opinion). but this knoweldge was gained by the ability to fight what we believed and only keep what is strongly demonstrated. the only counter argument I have in mind is the Hawkin beam from black hole wich freely assume those object obey to entropy law. I will personnaly blindly follow the theoric demonstration and "praise" to see evidence while I am still alive.

I agree with you, our current rules of physics explains so many phenomenons with such accuracy that it's an approval for our physics in general. And the approach of correcting ourselves when we find a better explanation is really necessary if we are about to go forward.

About the Hawking radiation, it really fascinates me as well, sadly I don't have enough technical savvy on the subject so I will follow you, accept and "praise".
