This work explores the hypothesis that evolutionary dynamics analogous to Darwinian natural selection may extend beyond biological systems and operate throughout the physical Universe. Starting from the observation that living organisms themselves emerge from physical matter governed by universal laws, the study investigates whether principles such as variation, stability, persistence, selection, integration, and elimination may also characterize the evolution of elementary particles, atoms, stars, thermodynamic systems, spacetime, motion, and fundamental interactions. A comparative analysis of multiple physical domains reveals recurrent organizational patterns compatible with cumulative evolutionary behavior. Across different physical scales, stable configurations tend to persist over long timescales, whereas unstable structures decay, transform, or disappear. Increasing complexity frequently emerges through the integration of pre-existing systems, similarly to the progressive organization observed in biological evolution. Atomic structures, stellar populations, thermodynamic regimes, and large-scale cosmic organization all appear to exhibit forms of structural selection constrained by environmental and energetic conditions. Within this framework, spacetime, mass, motion, thermodynamic laws, and even the hierarchy of fundamental interactions are interpreted not necessarily as immutable entities established instantaneously at the origin of the Universe, but potentially as components of a progressively evolving physical system. The apparent separation between quantum and gravitational regimes may therefore reflect different organizational and evolutionary scales of the same underlying physical reality rather than fundamentally incompatible descriptions. The proposed framework also suggests several possible conceptual implications for cosmology. These include the gradual co-development of matter and spacetime, the coexistence of overlapping evolutionary structures across cosmic history, and the possibility that certain observational tensions in modern cosmology may be compatible with cumulative and partially asynchronous evolutionary processes occurring over extremely long timescales. Similarly, cosmic expansion may be interpreted also as an ongoing evolutionary process involving the progressive differentiation and separation of matter within expanding spacetime. The present hypothesis remains highly speculative and currently lacks a predictive mathematical formalism capable of generating quantitative physical predictions. The proposed interpretations should therefore be considered conceptual and heuristic rather than demonstrative physical models. Nevertheless, recent developments in particle physics, cosmology, and complexity science suggest that some aspects of matter formation and large-scale cosmic organization may already be compatible with dynamic and evolutionary interpretations of physical reality. By proposing a common evolutionary language applicable across traditionally separated scientific domains, this work aims to stimulate interdisciplinary discussion among cosmology, theoretical physics, thermodynamics, complexity science, and evolutionary theory toward a broader understanding of the Universe as an evolving, multi-domain system.
