G'day Wolverine,
Thank you for your question.
The laws of physics, scientific laws or the laws of nature are based on observation of events both on earth and elsewhere in the universe. As far as we know, they apply wherever in the universe you go. if they don't they are not laws of science. That doesn't mean to say that things don't happen differently in zero gravity than they do on earth but that is covered within the law of physics.
As Scotty said on Star Trek "ye canna change the laws of physics". As far as we know, he was right.
I have attached sources for your reference.
Regards

Although I am not a professor, I will answer this just for the points. It is unknown what laws of physics exist in another universe or even if another universe exists. Think of it this way: You are speck of dust stuck a skyscraper that has only one room that encompasses all of it's volume (engineering set aside for this example). And this skyscraper has no windows or doors. You live in it for a few years and you start to wander if there is anything else to it. You have gone exploring in all directions yet you find no boundry. Something tells you there has to be more and you come up with the theory of alternate skyscrapers. Can you prove that there are alternate skyscrapers. Can you disprove it? But, but. Quantum physics is starting to toy with the notion that other universes might exist. And even if they did, we would not know what laws of physics they follow or even if they had any. Physics is measured by relationships. Our laws of physics could be totally wrong in another universe. Put it this way: What if d-o-g really spelled cat in their universe? We just wouldn't know. And no, nothing is impossible. Improbable, maybe. Not impossible.

As far as we know, the laws of physics are the same throughout the entire Universe. That is, we have yet to find a place where the laws of physics don't work exactly the way they work here on Earth.

im not a proffesor but not a moron either. One of the laws of physics states that informaiton cannot be destroyed, u might know this law stated as, no matter is ever created nor destroyed. Well if this law is true every where, what happens in black hole, how about einsteins popular equation of e=mc2, this equation states that something cannot give more energy than it has, this is contradicted by the gamma ray bursts. Not the ones given off by super novae but by neutron stars. Yes to your questions. I suggest you just surface quantum mechanics and quantum physics.

the laws of physics are the same throughtout the universe. heres one comparison. hurricanes and spirall galaxies have the same look becuase the laws are the same. objects closer to the center will take shorter time to go around then the object farther out. thats why huricanes and spiral galaxies are spirals
also gravity. same law everywhere. larger the mass. more gravity it has. earth vs. jupiter.
thermal dynamics. the hotter it is the more energy it take to get it at that temp and keep it there.

who ever said that information is destroyed in a black hole? when a black hole absorbs mass or energy, it adds to the mass or emergy of the black hole.
