You sure? The inflation theory in cosmology says that early in the life of the universe, it was possible for matter to move faster than light- -an impossibility now. (Actually, a more accurate statement would be that space, the universe, expanded faster than light.) Another proposed explanation of the problem that inflation is attempting to solve (the inhomogeneity of the universe) is that c, the speed of light, has increased. But one of the postulates of relativity is that c is a constant. In any case, I consider an analogy between physics and metaphysics to be false. Establishing that there are absolute physical laws by no means allows you to say the same of moral codes.
