If it never changes it's invisible even if it's huge.
We only see things that change, if they don't they fade into the background noise, we don't recognize them.
There's tons of friction that is invisible to us because we don't even realize it could be different.
":shrug: That's just the way that is."
But if the laws of physics change, sometimes friction that used to be a fact of life turns out to be possible to bend… or even break.
