Actually nvm i think i reached my knowledge input for today.

Yeah the laws of physics are just ideas created by people much smarter than most of us here, but also with solid math backing up their claims, so people tend to give them the benefit of the doubt when their theories are sound and the math behind them is solid. That doesn't mean they can't be wrong, or there could be an "IF" factor that they aren't considering that changes the whole dynamic.

The laws of physics are ideas which describe the world we live in and how things work. When something is a theory it is the scientific way of describing a phenomena with maths or evidence to prove it. When scientist state that this is a theory, they mean this definition:

 

'Science Dictionary

Theory (thē'ə-rē, thîr'ē)

A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena. Most theories that are accepted by scientists have been repeatedly tested by experiments and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.'

 

Scientists don't make theories out of thin air and a lot of work is put on it to describe our physical phenomena and we may not be able to understand it but if you read physics books and study maths or other branches you would understand why.

 

With the resent breaking of the law of quantum mechanics, please note that many quantum mechanics 'laws' are based on theory without experiments being done and weren't able to do because of large costs and limited technology of the time. Many of Einstein's theories took decades to prove (like time dilation where time slows down as it reaches the speed of light, proven in 1960's) and there are some that are not experimentally verified yet because of limited technology and the LHC is an example of experiment to prove many of the rules of quantum mechanics as well as disprove them (which is what theories are set in the first place; to disprove them).
