Is Nature that consistent? I don't believe it is. From our point of view nature looks that way, but probably because our time perspective is so brief, and also because our consciousness makes up for its lack of consistency. Reality as we understand it, isn't the smooth thing we have come to believe it is, even scientist have detected that "reality" happens many milliseconds before we become consciously aware of it. Even the damn speed of light has been clocked at all different speeds! Some speeds have been clocked at 300 times faster the "agreed" speed of light. Nothing is consistent, nothing is constant, it is the mind that makes it look that way. Biology, chemistry, all those science are nothing but ways of describing what really is NOT there, but we want to convince ourselves so badly it is. Cheers!

Interesting comments, thank you very much, love the challenge your presenting here, love your critical thinking and curiosity also !
Not all causes and effects are measurable. So the patterns we apply are always an assumption at best, because the causes and effects include everything.
Therefore both pattern and "law" are illusory
Which is funny because the main reason we think is to reach for patterns - (probably)
Which brings us back to the whole point (less) of the article. :)
Our best chance for Understanding is sensing lol..
The more we translate that "understanding" into language
the further we get from it.
Which makes all of my writing kind of silly really
Which is why laughter is so frigg'n awesome ha ha ha
Thanks !

Oh I remember now
What I meant be nature being consistent was that we are able to derive formulas and patterns from it.
Such as the engineering that allows all those incredible bridges buildings and highways that cut through Bangkok.
Or all the interconnected biology that is able to live, die and breed in a perpetual evolution. That happens because of the way energy behaves - even the quantum is consistent in its seemingly inconsistency.
Perhaps the speed of light is changing, I would not know, but the buildings are not suddenly falling over or floating of into space because of that.
