In this evolving universe at lightspeed why is anything constant
Speed of light, gravity, Plank, Boltzmann, elementary charge, etc.
When did these guys decide to become constant within some pico-seconds after the big bang, and why should they remain fixed now and into the future ?

Still, the early universe was a weird place so there are no doubt many surprises in store as more is learned about the exotic objects that might have formed back then, including possible variations in the assumed constants of nature. The JWT (and its planned successor) will probably challenge a number of hypotheses as it probes ever more deeply into space and time.
