A pair of questions, non technical and a bit outsider (that's not necessarily bad here I hope!):
1) In order to explain the general existence and stability of fundamental laws (don't you think that's puzzling?), is there any plausibility to the idea that they have emerged from a chaotic/lawless state?? (Smolin likes that, but...)
2) In the same line, does it make sense to postulate a process of "formation of symmetries" / "symmetry restoration" from an asymmetric initial state (Nielsen & co. have worked on that) before the symmetry-breaking occurred ?
Thanks a lot!!
