Or does it raise it?
But now, seriously speaking, is it really so firmly established that, say, 
the evolution of stars seems to progress at the same rate everywhere? I 
don't know, I'm asking. Last minimally serious readings I did on 
astrophysics were in the very early '90s. I'm not sure the question of 
uniformity of Physics across the universe (barring singularities) was 
settled by then.
