I do know enough to say that whether or not there's a 'law' in this regard depends upon how you define "place", because in one definition, "place" also includes a time coordinate. In another (and admittedly much more useful in day to day life) one uses a co-moving coordinate system (I think it's called iirc ) that accounts for the universe's expansion (I think is the basic idea?), such that the concept of "place" actually does continue to exist across time. And using the latter (and more useful) definition, yes, you are totally correct in your assertion. Fair?
