QM - Quantum Mechanics
GR - General Relativity

Thnx for the link to the other article.
The "universal constants can change/universal constants will never change" war is almost as exciting as the WOD!

I'm on the "they can, they did, and they will change more" side.

After I posted my question to you, I thought about it a bit. Glad I was correct.

I agree.

I'm on the "they can, they did, and they will change more" side.

I am too, though I'm in no way qualified to take a position on it.

From the article you posted, The problem is, when we actually look out, every measure we've made right now is completely consistent with a constant energy in the universe over cosmological time.

From my perspective, that is a lot like saying that today's temperature is a constant. If the Big Bang is correct, what triggered it? The expansion/contraction model proposed by some seems at odds with not just an expanding, but one that seems to be expanding faster, the farther out we're able to see.

Energy bleeding into our 3D universe from outside of it could have triggered the Bang.
