Universality versus Relativity debate

The Universality versus Relativity debate concerns whether physical laws are the same everywhere and at all times or if they can vary depending on conditions. Universality suggests that laws like gravity are consistent throughout the universe, allowing us to predict celestial and earthly phenomena universally. Relativity, introduced by Einstein, shows that measurements of time, space, and gravity depend on observers’ motion and position, meaning laws can appear different depending on context. The debate highlights whether the universe operates under fixed, universal rules or if these rules are relative to specific situations or observers.
