New Tests Suggest a Fundamental Constant of Physics Isn't The Same Across The Universe

Why weren't there any threads about this?

if the universe is expanding and it is 14 BN years old, and this quasar is 13 BN lightyears away, it must litteraly be on the other side of the big bang origin point, which of course makes sense and is nothing new.

A constant isn't a constant if it can change.

you've heard of e? pi? these are constants that literally change all the time.

if you accept pi as a constant, then:
pi = 3.14...

but we know :
pi = 3.1415...

we know that 3.1415 != 3.14
so, either :
pi ! = pi
or
pi is not a constant
or
pi is a constant rate of change.

oh i know:
if "..." means repetition, why is it that infinite sequences ( even non converging ones) are written with ... at the end?
Im just doing my masters thesis about homoemorphic topological structures so perhaps im missing something, you could probably elaborate on this subject better.

I sort of expected it, along with others, who are more versed in physics than me.
I don't think even curvature is a constant, even dimensions are now counted in fractions.

So if you travelled to this region of space where the constant is different, would the difference in value affect you in any way?

[Anonymous No.11657491]

>>11656945
stupid baitpost. if pi is not a constant, what variables does it vary with? and if so, is it continuous? what is its derivative with respect to that aforementioned variable?

neat
lets find somewhere where some constants change drastically over a few kilometers and fuck around with it

Brainlet with a knowledge of cosmology no more than an undergrad sophomore here. I always wondered if this were a possibility that, somewhere some gorillions of light years away, if the way stuff works out there is different than our local cosmic neighborhood. Of course I have no way of testing this or even knowing how to so it's all just "dude what if, like, space magic" but still cool to know we've found something.

Does the universe having a North and South be used to explain the lack of antimatter in our visible area?

How local are you talking?
You can say with some degree of certainty that everything inside the particle horizon works more or less the same way. If it didn't then you'd see a difference in the things that had passed through it like the CMB.
