I think that's generally true for nature around us, but those constants break down--for instance, we know that Newton's laws of motion don't apply to sub-atomic particles. Everything else does, but subatomic particles don't. Why? Don't know. But they don't. So you can't rely on Newton's laws to explain those things. Same is also true for space. We know enough to know that Space doesn't follow our rules.

That's the point: when we find the rules don't apply, we try to ascertain what the newly discovered rules are. Things like quantum physics are tools to help discern what the true underlying rules are. Just as Einsteinian rules supplanted Newtonian, new rules are being discovered that poke holes in some aspects of Einstein's.

Space may not follow our rules but it follows some rules.

[Publius Valerius]

Sure, sure, I agree—but the point is that it’s not all one set of rules. There are very clearly different rules for different sets of circumstances, and this may be yet another example of a “different” set of rules that we can’t comprehend.

I suspect that we know something like .0001% of all there is to know about the universe and how it works and one day we’ll all be very surprised to learn how things really work.
