why does anything exist at all ? - why does matter exist?- why does the Universe exist?* what underlies the nature of physical laws ? - why do any laws exist at all?- why do they seem to have a mathematical nature?- in what way is their compulsory operation imbedded in reality?* what determines the nature of the specific laws that in fact govern the Universe ?- why do they have the specific form they do?

THE GOD PARTICLE SOLVES WHY DO THINGS EXIST FOR SINCE ITS THE THING THAT GIVES MATTER ITS MASS!
AND THATS LIFE/THATS THE WAY OF LIFE

Next time try to ask a more difficult set of questions, eh?
Mathematics is man's invention - at first to explain observable physical phenomenon.
It later evolved to not only explain observable physical phenomenon, but to predict phenomenon that couldn't be observed, and certainly wasn't intuitive.
The equivalency of mass and energy is an excellent example. It has been generally found that the universe obeys certain laws and these laws can be explained mathematically.
Unfortunately, no matter how intricate and complex we care to carry this idea, math will never explain the concept of something from nothing, or why anything exists at all, or why the laws reveal themselves so accurately in our mathematics, or what underlies these laws or why they even exist.
That's my physics take - you might want to try a different forum for a different take, perhaps religion or philosophy.

why does anything exist at all ? - b/c there's nothing to destroy it
what underlies the nature of physical laws? - interaction between particles in the atoms that they are made of, plus gravity.
why do any laws exist at all? b/c in material world, doing exactly the same thing gives you exactly the same result
why do they seem to have a mathematical nature? - we write them as math b/c it is easy to compute how much weight a bridge can handle, how far an airplane can fly, how to send a sattelite into orbit.
for the rest, go ask in Society&Culture->religion or Social Science->Phylosophy. Physics studies how the world works, not why.
