The laws of physics did not spring into being ... ever.
They are creations of man which describe the observed behaviours
of the matter and energy within our limits of
observation.

Time doesn't actually exist at all. It is convenient for us to
interpret out perceptions of the universe against a passage
of time.
Try measuring time.
By that I mean get a like-for-like comparision the way we do with
length or mass.
Read 'Slaughterhouse five' by Kurt Vonnegut ... I know it's
fiction, but he has an interesting slant on time
