PD;
Physics make hypotheses that the natural laws that govern our immediate realm of existence also govern existence that we cannot observe. This simply means that the forces of nature that we develop mathematical equations for are just as valid to the universe beyond our observation as they are within our observation of our own solar system. Those who suggest that different laws of physics and nature exist elsewhere in the universe are just being foolish. The problem arises when we ask ourselves if we truly know the laws of nature and physics in an absolute concept. We are still tweaking the laws to fit the observations.
