Correct me if I’m wrong, but a physical law is no force or anything like it and of itself does not cause things. It is instead merely a description of the world and how it works, not an actual part of it.
IMO your statement is neither right nor wrong— more like superficial. Of course different students of physics have different opinions about these things. Here are a few of mine:
To begin with, “law” is a poorly chosen word. Human laws are rules of behavior that are entirely arbitrary, as evidenced by the various laws of different states and cultures. And there are various levels of human laws. For example, most cultures have laws prohibiting murder and theft, but many do not have laws against jaywalking.
Moreover, human laws can be freely violated. Sometimes there are penalties for this, if one is unlucky or dumb enough to get caught, but the penalties do not prevent violations.
Physical laws are quite different. There is no penalty for violating them because they cannot be violated. They describe how things work and how things will work when tested. A jaywalker who steps in front of an oncoming bus
will be injured or killed.
Physical laws have various levels. Some are profoundly fundamental, such as the Three Laws of Thermodynamics, which also have the distinction of being time-independent. And each of these laws describes something different. The first is a statement of existence, the second represents a force, and the third is a boundary condition.
Beon theory holds that the First and Third laws cannot be violated, not even by God. However, you and I and God can violate the 2nd Law (describing entropic force), and we do so whenever we have a thought or perform a conscious act of will.
My theory also proposes that there are only two fundamental forces in the universe, that represented by the 2nd Law, plus the counterforce exerted by God and beon (a.k.a. soul).
The remaining physical laws, such as Newton’s laws of mechanics, Maxwell’s equations, and those describing nuclear forces, are different dynamic geometries constructed by binding entropic force (the 2nd law). The principle is analogous to building a wooden house, which requires that trees be cut and carved up into different structural pieces, 2x4’s, siding, plywood, etc.
The “laws” of physics are expressed in various mathematical forms. Some of these are merely mathematical models that approximate our observations. Others are quite precise and may describe how things actually work. Some are precise only under limited circumstances. Newton’s laws needed correction for observations made from moving reference points (Special Relativity) and for gravitational effects (General Relativity).
At the top of the hierarchy of physics principles are the Laws of Thermodynamics, the 1st and 3rd of which cannot be contravened, no matter how hard physicists have tried. The 2nd Law continues to apply to all energy forms, It was violated by the Creator to construct matter by carving up raw energy into the tiny structural components we know as atoms.
I hope that this helps. Of course my book explains these things more simply, as well as the logic behind my conclusions.
