Did the basic laws of physics also evolve after BB?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the evolution of the laws of physics post-Big Bang, specifically questioning whether these laws, including quantum mechanics, evolved from simpler forms. Participants assert that fundamental constants such as Planck's constant (h), the speed of light (c), and the gravitational constant (G) are foundational and unlikely to change without new theoretical constraints. The consensus is that while the laws governing particles are stable, the properties of space and time may still be subject to change, highlighting the complexity of our understanding of the universe.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fundamental constants: Planck's constant (h), speed of light (c), gravitational constant (G)
  • Basic knowledge of quantum mechanics and its principles
  • Familiarity with cosmological concepts, particularly the Big Bang theory
  • Awareness of theoretical physics and the implications of changing physical laws
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of Planck's constant in quantum mechanics
  • Explore the Big Bang theory and its impact on the evolution of physical laws
  • Investigate the nature of space and time in modern physics
  • Study theoretical constraints that could alter fundamental physical laws
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, cosmologists, students of theoretical physics, and anyone interested in the fundamental principles governing the universe.

Just thinking about this and I will say I do not know anything about cosmology or physics beyond what is common, but my question is, could the laws of physics, specifically how particles interact/behave, have evolved right after the big bang so that it started out with a simpler set of laws and then like planets and galaxies get created, fundamental particles and laws also get created? Were all the quantum laws (or other areas of science related to this) established immediately upon creation of the universe?
In a similar vein to this, is it possible that these laws can change in the future due to either their own internal workings or a macroscopic event that will affect them somehow? One example would be if photons, electrons, protons and other particles had the exact same structure and behavior and if they will always stay the same, but can apply to really anything that existed since the big bang.

What we must understand that h(Planck's constant), c(speed of light), G(gravitational constant) are fundamental constant's.The laws regarding them are one of the most fundamental and they determine everything.Unless new theoretical constraint's are found laws of universe will not change so easily.Quantum Laws will not change.What can change is space, time and their properties.Because these are things which we do not know much.
 
Alright thanks.
