One of the laws is the law of gravity. Another is thermodynamics. The law of physics are general rules about the mechanics of the physical world. I'm not a physicist, but I know matter does not, by the will of another person, multiply to feed hundreds, or else world hunger would be solved instantly because if it was possible, I would solve it right now.

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea | By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown | Till human voices wake us, and we drown. — T.S. Eliot
"... man always has to decide for himself in the darkness, that he must want beyond what he knows. ..." — Simone de Beauvoir
"As if that blind rage had washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself—so like a brother, really—I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again." — Albert Camus, "The Stranger"
