All physical constants are exact powers of ten; everything should be neat and organised.
There is a normal integer between 4 and 5 but sapient beings are completely incapable of percieving it.

Religion is not "invented", does not exist
People have no imagination, or have literally all the answers and thus no free will in this world then?
Can't imagine a world where people don't create incorrect answers associated with a higher power
Around the time the pyramid of Giza is built, actual Aliens build a slightly smaller pyramid in modern day Tunisia. No one cares and all conspiracies still center on the ancient egyptian ones.
Oxygen now stably bonds with three hydrogen atoms, not two. The new formula for water is H3O.
Good luck with any kind of life form that we would recognize as being alive evolving.
Honestly, i may be the most hardcore atheist, but it would be sweet if there was a God. You could know good and evil for sure, everyone gets what they deserve even if it's only in the afterlife, everything has a purpose...
I think it is objectively true that nature is chaos, we emerge from nature, and everything we believe in (currency, nations, laws, good and evil) are just social convention; all of that is the truth, and adapting to the truth helps me live a better life and make better decisions. But it's hard. It takes mental effort to accept that you're not the center of the universe and it's a disappointing thing to learn. I'm tired and i want someone to hand me meaning and purpose on a silver platter.

"Let's see what scientists say about time if I remove entropy from the equation."
Also: Big Elden Ring vibes. This is basically what Marika does; alters reality and takes death out of it because she got access to the source code of the universe.
- Platinum is now as plentiful as nickel. I'll let astrophysicists figure out the side effects
- 2cm of solid wood completely blocks any sort of radiation.
- Complete eradication of STDs
Complete eradication of STDs
It's little ones like this that have such insidious implications.
Even without a evil genie rule... No stds.
Which means that sex has no touching
Or
Everything is super fucked up - bacteria/viruses/fungi can no longer transfer from creature to creature through touch... I don't have the knowledgebase to even imagine what the results of this would be but I think somewhat catastrophic....

Also wood would be dense as fuck. Damn.
Everyone has 50% more empathy, with a minimum equal to the previous median amount.
Our solar system would have a greatly reduced speed of light so as to avoid being attacked by other sentient life.

No life can exist.
What about going after the law of conservation of energy?😈
What if energy can be created, destroyed and conserved now? :)
Oh no the big bang deatroyed all energy.
Nothingness.
Yeah but in this place nothingness creates energy.. so like mini big bangs going off everywhere? Or we talking like zero point energy? Which opens up a bag of worms in our dimension where particles exist and don't so they're coming and going from somewhere, maybe this energy dimension lol.
