If the answer is that a different set of laws can operate in a different universe system, this would suggest (from a Buddhist perspective) that even the laws of physics are entangled with the karma of the sentient beings that will arise in that universe.","author":"Dalai Lama XIV","tags":["karma","physics","universe"],"id":2089,"author_id":"Dalai+Lama+XIV"},{"text":"Arthur Compton became my graduate advisor.

So I looked up Bruce Banner and this is what I found: Banner, a physicist, is sarcastic and seemingly very self-assured when he first appears in Incredible Hulk #1, but is also emotionally withdrawn in most fashions...Banner is considered one of the greatest scientific minds on Earth, possessing 'a mind so brilliant it cannot be measured on any known intelligence test.' He holds expertise in biology, chemistry, engineering, physiology, and nuclear physics.","author":"Steven Magee","tags":["banner","biology","bruce","chemistry","engineering","health","hulk","human","incredible","nuclear","physics","physiology","radiation","radiation-effects"],"id":2747,"author_id":"Steven+Magee"},{"text":"Consciousness cannot be accounted for in physical terms.
