Is it possible that the laws of physics may include a moral law?

Question

I am not a religious nut but I think it unwise to write of the idea that there is something beyond us.

Answer 1

No. The laws of physics are science. Science has nothing to say about morality or ethics, besides evolution favoring people who don't kill off all the others of their species and thus dooming the whole race.

Answer 2

No, but maybe u should include the ideal that the Murphy's law is absolutely nothing to do with the law of physics, that what goes up must come down. I think if u apply that when u least expect it expect it and plan on something going wrong, cause it usually will.

Beyond us, ah, the stars moon sky and maybe a bunch of crazy's yeah, physics...... more concrete and something that can be calculated and measured... Anything else??? who knows.

Answer 3

I like your theory, but per definition, the laws of physics must have a set outcome predetermined by nature, regardless of external emotion or human intervention. Morality is just the filter through which we look at physical world and realy has very little to do with physics.

Answer 4

Materialism maintains that the physical world is all there is. Man has no intrinsic value, but his worth is measured by his value to the community he lives in, in the the physical world. Once the value to the community weakens, his worth diminishes until one day he adds no value to the community but becomes a taker. Then why should the community support him? In a materialistic world they won't. He'll be put to death, oblivion. Yet though this is the system, the paradigm, something inside us tells us there is more. We note that even in the physical world there are laws that govern the universe. Without these laws, we would perish. All societies from the beginning of man have had laws to govern behavior. Without these laws, societies would perish. Interestingly, we all have a sense of justice inside. If someone commits a heinous crime we viscerally desire his torture and slow death. Where does that reaction come from in a materialistic world? There are certain realities that physics can't explain. Yet, the laws of physics, of nature, of behavior all point to something greater than the limitations of materialism. Just because everybody believes the world is flat doesn't make it true, does it?

Answer 5

No. We postulate the laws of physics in an attempt to explain what nature does. Moral "law" is arbitrary.

Answer 6

Nope.
No morality in physics.

Answer 7

yes
