There is something else. The fine-structure constant has been shown to vary from region to region of the Cosmos. What does this mean? It simply means that the "laws" of physics are not set in stone and vary from place to place and time to time.

Bizarre as it seems;

In a nut shell, this could mean that life as we understand it may not exist in far of reaches of the Cosmos due the fine-structure constant variability. Different regions would have different physical properties.

This is something I've thought about much of my life. Physics itself might "evolve" or change over "time". Cosmic frequencies in constant motion.

Whatever one's view on this, its very interesting nonetheless.
