What laws of physics existed before the big bang?

If the big bang created the laws of physics as we know them now, Then there must be meta laws to create the big bang and its laws. What might those laws be? Is there anyway to test for them?

How is double jumping against the laws of physics?

I was playing Spider-man 3 and in the beginning that narrator dude was like "Ok, here we go again, breaking the laws of physics. Practice your double jumping". Or something to that effect. I have a basic understanding that once an object is in motion it stays in motion until it comes in contact with something else consisting of matter. Can someone that is good at physics go more into depth and explain why double jumping is considered breaking the laws of physics?

How exactly are the four laws of physics different and how is gravity even a 'force'?

I read an intro on the four laws of physics and to me they seem like the same law of gravity/attraction… just on different size scales. For example; in electromagnetism, Isn’t ‘magnetism’ a form of gravity since it is basically attraction between objects? Also, how is gravity even a ‘force’.

How does knowing physics help in fighting?

I read that many top fighters in numerous fighting sports especially in grappling sports such as Judo and Sambo state that knowledge of physics(and its formulas) will be very helpful in planning strategies and tactic in matches.They also said knowing laws of physics help you execute techniques more easiluiy.How does knowledge of physics help them?

Your Kid’s Science Class

Many parents are puzzled and taken aback by the number of topics and the complexity of today’s science lessons for kids. Sometimes parents look at their children’s notes and textbooks and think to themselves that they can not remember learning this lesson, or they remember learning it at a much later grade. Admit it, it happened to you! Do not worry, it is very normal for you to be surprised by your kid’s science class. Truth is that kids are learning concepts faster than before and with all the modern advances being made in science, there is always more to learn!

The life sciences which you probably remember as biology, focusing on cell reproduction and photosynthesis now introduces the concepts of cell division at the fifth grade. What you were learning in high school, your kid’s science class now teaches in the last year of elementary! To help tutor your kids with life sciences, always read their textbook a chapter ahead of them, and supplement your reading with some online research. You will find that you are learning some new and interesting concepts, and it will prepare you for the questions your child will throw your way!

Back when you were reading school books, earth science told us that there were nine planets in our solar system, and one asteroid belt. Well, nowadays, kid’s science teaches them that there are only eight planets in the solar system, four dwarf planets (Pluto included), and two belts that orbit the sun. Right, two belts, that is news to you, isn’t it? Like life science, earth science is constantly changing because of the new discoveries being made everyday. What was once a simple study on the different types of rocks, now discusses how to carbon date a rock!

One of the safer sciences in terms of how much new knowledge is added is physical science. This is because the laws of physics have held true for many generations, and when the complicated part of physics comes in, your kids will be in college and probably studying physics as their major. Also, developments in physics usually involve the very confusing and complicated formulas which no kid’s science class will discuss unless your kid is in a school for geniuses. This makes it rather safe for parents as long as you and your child can keep up with the pace in which it is being taught. Chances are that you will be able to do so, this is one science you need not worry too much about!

On a final note, keep up with your kid’s science class by keeping yourself up to date in the world of science. Try to read some science news online, and keep tabs on what your child is learning. Do not be afraid to speak to your child’s teacher either. Many teachers appreciate it when parents want to help their children learn more and better, so all your efforts will be very welcome. Remember that when you can teach something to your child, they are likely to learn it faster and better!

Can Middle Earth, or something akin to it, actually exist in another dimension or parrallel universe?

IF there is an infinite number of parrallel universes or dimensions, can a Middle Earth actually exist? Would the laws of physics be different in those universes or dimensions, allowing "magic" to exist?
Thanks Andy, Then every book, every story, every dream any person has ever had is not only possible, it’s REALITY somewhere. And that includes the Bible, so somewhere, maybe here, every word in the Bible is true then.
