The laws of physics are considered fundamental to an existence in which a civilization lives, and intrinsic to its view of the cosmos. The laws are altered as one discovers higher dimensions or other planes of existence.
A rough sequence of major discovery is:
- 3d: Classical mechanics (deterministic)
- Isaac Newton unified gravity and astronomy
- James Clerk Maxwell unified electromagnetism
- 3d: Quantum mechanics (probabilistic).
- 4d: Albert Einstein introducing relativity, unifying space and time.
- 3d: Grand Unified Theory that unified the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces.
- 5d: Gravity is a strong force
- 6d: Theory of Everything was discovered, that standardized the interactions between all four forces of nature: gravity, strong nuclear, weak nuclear, and electromagnetic force. It unified quantum mechanics (the very small) and general relativity (the very large).
- 7d: The new quantum dimension (called the heptum) with the new laws and the superforce.
- Dimensionless: non-reality
| Classical and quantum (<= 6d) | New laws at the heptum dimension (>= 7d) | Non-reality (outerverse) |
|---|---|---|
| First Law of Motion: An object will remain at rest unless its state of inertia is changed by an external force. | Perpetual motion is achievable | There is no concept of motion; you could exist anywhere or everywhere simultaneously. |
| Second Law of Motion: the rate of change is directly proportional to the amount of force applied. | Some stellification or star-lifting processes can achieve immense change via relatively little force | Change is brought about at will from the denizens of the outerverse; thought is abstract and as fast as any other action. |
| Third Law of Motion: For every action in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. | Forces can be contained and expelled via portals or devices like antimatter containment fields | If Dark (that which did not exist before) is removed, there is more Light (that which exists). The converse applies, and there has to be balance. |
| Conservation of Mass and Energy: matter cannot be created or destroyed and only converted between mass and energy (e=mc2), and information is retained within a relativistic frame of reference | Matter can be 'created' via subspace conduits, and information can be lost via them. Dark matter is independent of the electromagnetic spectrum and fits into the new framework of physics. | There is no matter or energy in the outerverse; Dark and Light are made up of exotic particles which have to be in balance and this implies conservation at an abstract level. |
| The speed of light c is constant at about 300 million metres per second | The speed of light is a minimum of c in a tachyonic realm, and this makes instantaneous travel and quantum tunneling possible. Tachyons increase in speed as their energy decreases, and would require infinite energy to slow down to the speed of light; conversely instantaneous travel would require an infinitesimally small amount of energy, or ZPE. | Speed of light is irrelevant to travel as you could be anywhere or everywhere simultaneously, and traverse planes of existence at will. |
| Law of gravity: any particle of matter in the universe attracts any other with a force varying directly as the product of its inertial and gravitational masses and inversely as the square of the distance between them. F=G(mM/r2) | Anti-gravity is achievable | Gravity can be infinite or empty; it is meaningless in an eternal structure where force is unbound and particles have no mass |
| The First Law of Thermodynamics is the conservation of energy which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another | Positive energy can be 'borrowed' via subspace conduits but must be returned as negative energy, implying that the first law holds true for higher dimensions. The net sum energy of the universe is zero (via this positive and negative energy balance) and it could therefore have arisen from nothing. Dark energy is independent of the electromagnetic spectrum and fits into the new framework of physics. | Energy can be siphoned at will from other planes but rarely needed. |
| The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that the entropy of a closed system like the universe only increases and spontaneously evolves towards thermal equilibrium | Carnot engines are ideal thermodynamic systems with no increase in entropy. | Entropy is irrelevant as the outerverse is eternal and there are no particles that cause heating or freezing. |
| The Third Law of Thermodynamics states that the entropy of a system approaches zero as the temperature approaches absolute zero, but a perfectly efficient system of zero can never be reached despite the best efforts of superconductivity science | Absolute zero is possible | There is no temperature in the outerverse as its particles are exotic. |
| Coulomb's Law: same charges repel and opposite charges attract | Same charges can attract and opposite charges repel, necessary for anti-gravity. | Exotic particles have no charge and make up an eternal framework of Light and Dark. |
| Gauss's Law of electromagnetism: net flow of an electric field through a closed surface is proportional to the enclosed electric charge | Excess electrical energy can be gathered via subspace. | There is no electromagnetic spectrum in eternal planes of existence. |
