I've always wondered. Why are the laws of physics, mathematics the way they are now? Why does everything exist in the universe? Could the universe have had different physics, mathematics, etc, laws? Could the universe have never existed and everything in it or was it 100% meant to exist? What could be occupying the universe space if it hadn't existed? Even if there´s anything beyond the universe why does it keep expnading?Why is everything relative so our existence is also relative? Is there one force that dictates all the universe laws and if there isn´t, can they be relatively changed or they are absolute?. What is the essence of the space between two atoms, what put it there? Why does the whole universe exist and why it can not be the other way?
I have these answers and I have serched for them but there seems to be no accurate explanation. If Einstein says that everything is relative so is everything in this universe ? You know, I could become crazy by just trying to clear this.

No phylosophical explanation, please.

As for relativity, as Einstein says, everything is relative. This is just a short punch line, what he is trying to say is that all we observe is dependent on the observer.
The laws of the universe and everything are formulated bsed on our perception. We see 2D, our brain interpolates a 3Dimage but there are a lot of things we don't see or sense.
It is not said that the universe exists just as we understand it. All the formulas we have try to explain the things we have so far observed but there are many things we cannnot even imagine (11 Dimensions, curved space, ...)
All we know is just a heartbeat of science, One blink of an eye later we know something completely different.
I would ask not why the universe is like is is but why we live in this universe and not in one of the countless paralell ones.

Why does there have to be a reason. It is what you see in front of you. There is no reason behind nature it's the way it is. Sure there could be nothing but there isn't. It's just simple evolution my friend everything starts from something small and branches out. And all the branched things are relative to the others. There will never be answers to all your questions. We will long be extinct before we find those answers. But man what I would give to know them. If you think about it the cosmos sort of resembles the anatomy of a creature. It has thousands of different objects that are there to do certain jobs. And it all works neatly together. And I guess the beginning of the universe was sort of like the beginning of a fetus. They were just alot of cells and they just adopted an action they saw around them. Maybe the whole universes having parent universes theory isnt so wacky after all. Ughh what an amazing world we live in. Hey I got something for you to think about. Well I’ve been trying to calculate the probability of me being born. And I’ve found that my existence is so improbable that if I knew the answer if I started writing it I would most likely die before I was done. There was no predetermined reason for my existence though. I am here just because of billions upon trillions upon infinities of decisions. But I choose the meaning of my own life. And I choose the meaning of the universe. So the answer to your question is the universe exists the way it is because FILL IN THE BLANK.

The universe is the result of a sequence of events that originated with a single space-time pulse that occurred some time after point zero time.
All the laws of the universe were derived from this entity when it came into existence.
Nothing existed before this space-time pulse but a finite potential.
This may seem controversial but if the nothing before zero time had been infinite it could not have been initiated,resulting in the universe and us.
When the universe eventually goes out of existence it will enter a state of eternal non existence.
When an incident happens as a result of something it had a finite beginning,but when it goes out of existence and will never happen again the resulting state is infinite.

These question are basically philosophical and probably can't ever be answered. Asking if the universe could have had different physics is like trying to find out what came before the big bang. We can speculate, but I don't think it's possible to really know. And yes, you could go crazy thinking about this because I don't think the human mind is capable of grasping these questions. I think at some point you have to resign yourself to focusing on what can be observed and studied and not worry about what you can't observe. We know the universe exists and works according to a set of "laws" or "rules". We even understand some of these rules.
I have speculated on some of these questions myself and it usually winds up being like an infinite loop in a computer program where you keep going round and round by there is no way to get out.

That's a lot of questions. They are central to Philosphy and Physics, and a lot of them have only partial answers or suggested answers. So, if you really want to know, study philosopy and physics.
Suggested reading:
Philosophical Explanations by Robert Nozick
The Road to Reality by Roger Penrose.
Those two books will pretty much bring you up-to-date on the best thinking about these questions.

the human mind cannot comprehend the fact that the universe has no end and no center. you could blow a fuse trying to understand this. I think about it but I don't try to understand it. My favorite thing to think about is what is in a black hole. What happens in there. Is it just a round black ball? Is it spinning? If so, how fast? and on and on. I could blow a fuse too but I don't get too wrapped up in it. I just wonder.

The laws of Physics only apply on Earth. In space these laws have been broken! To the extreme! We are not as intellegent as we think.

Just be happy that we still live in this happy universe and we don't live with aliens.
