The fascinating thing to wonder about is ... why is this so?

Most people are so used to it that it's hard to even imagine a world 
where this isn't true. Even the religious types try to come up with 
"laws" that would govern the supernatural.

Of course, maybe that's just anthropogenic. If the universe didn't work 
consistently, I'd (wild-ass) guess that it's likely that life capable of 
wondering about it wouldn't have evolved.

And the thing about QED is there doesn't seem to be math at the bottom 
level - it's random on an event-by-event basis. (Maybe there's a math 
for that? I don't know of any. Statistics only deals with multiple events.)
