Is there any evidence that physics has changed in the history of the universe?


[/ QUOTE ]

Physics models the way the universe changes, a model does not change that which it models.

My understanding is that near the big bang the laws were different. I read somewhere it was proposed that the speed of light is slowing over time. Is this true?


[/ QUOTE ]

You probably did. But no way we can be completely sure what was going on back then.

Does the 2nd law of thermodynamics imply that the laws of nature will eventually break down?


[/ QUOTE ]

I guess they might change, never thought much of the laws of thermodynamics?

Is there direct sequential fossil links from lower primates to humans? If so, what % certainty?

I don’t know, read the litriture.

Did Sklansky post on here that results of math type tests are the most indicative of intelligence? If so, how do women score on such tests compared to males? If they perform worse (I really don't know beyond my own stereotypes of men being better at math), does this mean men are inherently inferior intellectually? Iguess people won't answer this truthfully.


[/ QUOTE ]

No idea.

[ QUOTE ]
Aside from humans, what is believed to be the smartest creature to have ever lived?

Where, on earth? Probably a member of the species humans evolved from, but just maybe a chimp or some dolphin. Depending on what smart means exactly.

[ QUOTE ]
Is there any indisputable evidence of aliens ever visiting, landing on Earth/abducting people?


[/ QUOTE ]

No

[ QUOTE ]
Are radiometric dating techniques generally considered accurate?

Accurate within defined bounds, which might not be very accurate depending on perception of accuracy.

[ QUOTE ]
What is the oldest known recorded time in human history?
