A broad meta‑scientific position that physics itself – its laws, constants, and fundamental entities – is not absolute but relative to the theoretical framework, measurement context, or historical epoch. It draws on the success of Einstein’s relativity and quantum mechanics to argue that what we call “physical reality” is always reality‑as‑measured‑from‑a‑perspective. This theory rejects the idea of a final, observer‑independent physics, embracing instead a pluralistic, perspectival view where different physical theories are valid for different domains.
