THINK ABOUT NATURE. And up until the modern era, where we describe them in quantum mechanics, the laws also never changed.
The laws lets us predict where the positions of the atoms will be at a later time, if we know the positions of all the atoms at a given moment. That's how we do physics and I call that the Newtonian Paradigm because it was invented by Newton. And behind the Newtonian Paradigm is the idea that the laws of nature are timeless; they act on the system, so to speak, from outside the system and they evolve from the past to the present to the future. If you know the state any time, you can predict the state at any other time. So this is the framework for doing physics and it's been very successful. The problem that I've identified—that I think is at the root of a lot of the spinning of our wheels and confusion of contemporary physics and cosmology—is that you can't just take this method of doing science and scale it up to the universe as a whole.

New Discovery Challenges Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, Advancing Quantum Mechanics : Physics. First Posted: Mar 04, 2013 09:39 AM EST Heisenberg’s famous Uncertainty Principle may not be as uncertain as once thought.
Weak measurement: as light goes through a birefringent crystal the horizontally and vertically polarized components of light spread out in space, but an overlap between the two components remains when they emerge. In a “strong” measurement the two components would be fully separated. (Photo : Jonathan Leach) Heisenberg's famous Uncertainty Principle may not be as uncertain as once thought. Like Us on Facebook The findings, published in the journal Nature Photonics, used a direct measurement technique that was first developed in 2011 by scientists at the National Research Council, Canada.
The Uncertainty Principle itself is used in quantum mechanics. The newest findings from researchers challenge this long-held belief, though. So how did they do it? MinutePhysics. Quantum gas goes below absolute zero. PHOTOCREO Michal Bednarek/Thinkstock Temperature in a gas can reach below absolute zero thanks to a quirk of quantum physics.
It may sound less likely than hell freezing over, but physicists have created an atomic gas with a sub-absolute-zero temperature for the first time1. Their technique opens the door to generating negative-Kelvin materials and new quantum devices, and it could even help to solve a cosmological mystery. Lord Kelvin defined the absolute temperature scale in the mid-1800s in such a way that nothing could be colder than absolute zero. Physicists later realized that the absolute temperature of a gas is related to the average energy of its particles. However, by the 1950s, physicists working with more exotic systems began to realise that this isn't always true: Technically, you read off the temperature of a system from a graph that plots the probabilities of its particles being found with certain energies.
