- Examples of physicists who have proposed that laws of nature are dynamical and evolve/change over time?
The Canadian physicist, Lee Smolin proposed in the 90's that laws of nature may evolve and change over time. He begun proposing that only the constants of nature would evolve, while the most fundamental laws would remain the same, but recently he has change a little bit his ideas and has proposed that even the most fundamental laws may evolve over time.
I think this is a pretty interesting "model" of the universe, even if it is evidently very speculative.
I was wondering if there are more well-renowned physicists who, like Smolin, or John Wheeler with his cosmological cyclic model, have proposed that laws of physics may evolve and change with time? Do you know about any other examples?
