Lately I have found everything about space to be absolutely fascinating. It just occured to me that the farther from the sun we travel gravity changes and so does time, but the physics that control these variables always stays the same. Or at least thats how it seems from my prespective.
Now I understand that we are about 20 years or so, as predicted by NASA from passing through the heliopause or the boundry line of where intersteller space begins.
Now to my knowledge, intersteller space is defined as being matter, or space that is taken over by other stars solar winds and other energies.
Once this boundry is crossed, do you think our understanding of todays physics will break down?
What are the possibilities if we could reach a galaxy with completely different physics than out own?
I hope that I have explained my question good enough for everyone to understand what I am asking. Space and intersteller space is mind boggling!

In regards to being about 20 years from crossing the heliopause I mean the Voyageur satelite is about 20 years from passing this boundary

We have very strong evidence that the laws of physics are the same throughout the observable universe. If there is such a thing as other universes or parallel universes, we can't say anything about their laws. Once M-brane theory begins to mature, it might give us some clues.
Some suspect the laws of physics may have changed over time. In particular, the speed of light and the value of the cosmological constant. See the reference, starting around page 250, for how that might affect the eventual destiny of the universe (the Big Rip, the Big Crunch, or the Phoenix ekpyrotic model.

Physics, is a similar in the time of the universe. There are some actual relationships that we don't totally understand yet they are latest the two right here and there. The rules of physics may be utilized to planetary orbits interior a similar way as image voltaic orbits. the only tension in physics that does look opposite to physics is the enlargement tension. it particularly is the stress that seems accelerating the universe aside even although all of us be attentive to that gravity might attempt to tug it lower back collectively. we are actually working to objective and clarify this habit.

As far as we know the laws of physics are universal and as Scotty on Star Trek said " Ya Canna Change the Laws a Physics "

Interesting stuff but no, the physics stays the same. I believe that our physics break down in a Black Hole and were quite different in the singularity that is though to have erupted into our Universe.
