TL;DR Summary
Is it there any model or theory (related to cosmology) that postulates a sum over all possible laws of physics?
Hawking and Hartle proposed a well-known model which postulated a sum over all possible histories considering all compact euclidean metrics to explain the origin of the universe (this is called the No Boundary model).

I was wondering whether there is any model or theory (related to cosmology) that postulates a sum over all possible histories of the universe with all possible laws of physics? I mean, any model similar to the No Boundary proposal by Hawking and Hartle but not only considering all the possible laws from all compact Euclidean metrics, but considering all the possible laws of physics that we could model or think of?

No. The words "sum over all possible laws" is just a way of stringing words together without meaning.

Thread 'Detecting Gravitons?'

I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this: Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.) Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit? Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...

Thread 'Inertial mass, the Higgs field, and Mach's Principle'

I'm trying to understand the relationship between the Higgs mechanism and the concept of inertia. The Higgs field gives fundamental particles their rest mass, but it doesn't seem to directly explain why a massive object resists acceleration (inertia). My question is: How does the Standard Model account for inertia? Is it simply taken as a given property of mass, or is there a deeper connection to the vacuum structure? Furthermore, how does the Higgs mechanism relate to broader concepts like...
