Title: Could advanced alien technology change the laws of Physics and Chemistry?

Perhaps an Alien could change the laws of physics and chemistry!

Arthur C. Clarke said 'A sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from Magic' If an advanced Alien civilization could control the laws of physics and chemistry in a region of spacetime with an expenditure of a modest amount of energy due to fundamental particle physics, then the Ka constant for the equilibrium of the Magnesium Carbonate buffer and Calcium Carbonate buffer in the Ocean can be changed, for the entire planet. That would mean that the pH or acidity level would not catastrophically change around 2040 or around 2100 for the magnesium carbonate buffer and the calcium carbonate buffer at 493ppm CO2 and 878ppmCO2 respectively. Some scientist on Earth could possibly arrange for that to happen, it would be a set of advanced equations that changed the state of matter and energy in the the Oceans and in our blood, if it was not dangerous for our physical bodies , or the risk was worth it. The magnesium carbonate buffer and calcium carbonate buffer exist in our bodies as well, and if the spell was cast for the entire planet, it would affect Ka of numerous chemical reactions, a thorough analysis of all the changes would have to be catalogued to make sure all the changes were safe enough. Sometimes, we do have to change the law to advance. Normally this type of change is kept secret, but the Wizards of Physics and Chemistry wanted to let people know there is still some hope and Compassion. This might really be possible. It depends on the Consciousness of the planet and the new borns, do they want to live a full healthy life. Their consciousness can provide enough impetus and will to make sure the change occurs for the planet as a whole. The transition and where the energy comes from to do this have to be done carefully and over a period of time so the change is not a drastic shock for very many people. Arnold Schwarzeneggar gave us the clue, body sculpting and building is possible.

If I'm not mistaken, some laws do change at higher energy scales (like the coupling constants of forces). I have no idea how you'd apply that to the problem you speak of. If you could, it would most likely cause more harm than good to living organisms.

By specifying advanced alien technology, you are in affect specifying the answer to your own question.

If they can be changed, then they aren't Laws...

I would rather say that our knowledge of physics and chemistry is incomplete, and that it is possible that advanced aliens would know how to do things that we don't know.

If aliens managed to reach Earth from another stellar system, that is certainly a significant piece of science and/or technology that we do not control, at this point in time.

For historical reasons, we have bestowed on Isaac Newton an honorary Law degree.

Even though we know that his laws of Motion and Universal Gravitation are not quite right in intense gravitational fields, or at high velocities.

Officially, we should have revoked this qualification around 1920, after Einstein's General Theory of Relativity was experimentally demonstrated.
