      The “laws of physics” as we’ve written them might be missing some bits because we keep discovering new things. But they are called laws because we have never, ever seen anything ever break or bend them.

      So basically no, unfortunately here in the milky way galaxy we’re stuck following the laws of physics.

      Stuart’s answer is very good – the only thing I would add is that the faster you go the more these laws get fuzzy. If you go closer to the speed of light (the fastest thing we know), then the laws of time become complicated! This is one of the reasons travelling in space is so interesting to think about, because to go as far as we want to we’d have to go almost as fast as light!

      Really good answers from Stuart and Jack. I don’t think I have anything to add.
