Given the laws of physics I am out on a limb here but given that we are increasingly evolving our knowledge, it is apparent to me that the current laws of physics seem to fit what little we know about time and space. As we move forward into this existence and it's boundaries are ever explored, physics and it's mathematical applications become more and more suspect. We just had one of our space probes enter into a new area of the Universe, just beyond our solar system, where the make-up of the matter that surrounds our solar system may offer a new clue to more understandings and questions concerning not just gravity but the vacuum and matter that hold our Sun and the planets in orbit. Even time and space as base lines may be challenged as to their properties as we grow out into our amazing Universe. All of this conjecture is to point out that we are very early in the human era historically, as far as we know, and the likely-hood that we have stumbled upon the foundation for all things for consideration seems a bit remote to me. What we have a lot of our knowledge based upon is the known factors we are aware of. What we still don't know surely must far a outweigh those things that we do know. All I am saying here is that nothing is certain, nothing. But what we do have seems sufficient to begin our quest into the greater unknown as long as we are prepared to discover that our ideas and preconceptions are a starting point, not a infallible truism. I have always believed that the philosophy of hoping for the best but preparing for the worst is a sound policy regardless of changing knowledge paradigms. Like all things, let's truly keep an open mind!
