Understood by whom? By you? By me? By some other projection of your mind? For laws of physics to be understood, some conscious being must be there to understand them. And that's an inherently subjective experience.

What is the "they" you're referring to? Is this also some construct of your imagination?

Are you aware that your entire understanding of reality exists only in your mind? And that what you think of as objective reality is nothing but your own mental projection? It's imaginary. Make believe.

You're building an argument based on imaginary constructs. You seem to believe that imaginary authority figures and an imaginary objective universe can dictate how your reality works. That is your choice of course, but have you ever tried loosening up on that belief a bit?

Can you prove that any conscious being aside from you actually exists here? That would seem to be a necessary first step if you're going to argue that anyone is capable of understanding anything here other than yourself. Otherwise whenever you bring up the "laws of physics," you're really just talking about your own subjective version of those laws, which only exist in your mind.

You concocted the laws of physics. You concocted the authority figures to support them. You concocted these imaginary people to challenge those beliefs too, so you could continue growing beyond those limits. It's your dream after all.
