I don't think I will even inquire as to what the universal laws are. And I won't even think about the GUT.

 

Given time, yes.

Keep close to Nature's heart... climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.* Victims of circumstance owe it to fate. Victims of choice owe it to themselves.*One of the widest gaps in human experience is the gap between what we say we want to be and our willingness to discipline ourselves to get there.

Whatever these laws are why should they (continue to) be obeyed?

There is no reason to consider them neither as absolute nor as necessary.

Thus they are purely contngent and nothing can ascertain them.

A clash of ideas is not a catastrophe, it is an opportunity. Only its constructive conclusions should be allowed to leave the academic framework.

It seems to me that's the purpose of science is, by its methods, to discover what is at the bottom of things, that is, the way the universe operates  in an objective sense. I'd say this is different for the "soft" or "subjective" (person-centered) subjects [psychology, sociology, anthroplogy, etc.] that involve creatures who seem to have minds of their own and don't especially want to obey any "laws."
