From my readings on the Cornell Archives, on which only legitimate professors and scientists post, there are still some variations is the laws of physics, or at least in their interpretation.

The most significant is whether dark matter, and even dark egergy exist. This controversy can be traced back to whether Newton's law of gravity is limited to spherically symmetry. If so, this limitation has been carried over into General Relativity which is forced to Newton's theory in that limit. The best data supporting no dark matter is that spherically symmetric galaxies evidence no dark matter. The leading proponents of this are Moffatt from Canada, U of Toronto and Cahill of Australia, Fliders U.

And then there is the question of interpretation of quantum mechanics. I will not go into all the various interpreyayions, most nof which are bizarre, like particles going backwards in time, or particles not even existing, or fields not existing; but qiantum theory, perhaps the most important theory of physics, lacks fundamental understanding. Its various interpretations covers just as wide a spectrum of belief as religion.

So physics is not so unique.
