Do you consider the scientific facts we have established are "truly" universal? For example: f=ma is true within our observable area...and at the far, unobservable ends of the universe.
Yes...3
No...2
Undecided...3
I am somewhat "undecided" on this. Our knowledge is basically based on observation and prediction. But it may be somewhat far fetched to extrapolate what we know to the whole universe. What may be true here fails a zillion light years away. We just don't know and express a lot of faith in the physics we know.

- Universal Laws Of Physics--maybe Not So Universal
I have advocated this for years. It is a logical fallacy to assume that the laws of physics as we observe them are universal. It may well be something we can never test. We would have to test every section of the universe and that is physically impossible....
