The laws.

I sat down one evening in my backyard and, as usual, started reading through a chapter of some half-price bookstore theoretical physics book, hoping to get a glimpse of some new idea or some POV shattering message. I am a hard geek, and usually add a bit too much grandeur into my imaginations. But I wondered, "What if I could redo the entire set of laws of the universe?" Granted, we don't know them all, but what if I could make up my own set: a set of laws governing whatever I want them to govern. Would this give me a greater understanding or ability to understand how our universe works? So here it goes... I've gotta go sit around with a pack of marlboros and come up with, as-so-far, the very basic underlying principle of my universe.
