Summary

This quote suggests that scientists have historically viewed the laws of physics as unquestionable and inherent principles that were established from the beginning of the universe. Exploring the origins and characteristics of these laws was not considered a valid scientific pursuit. However, the implication here is that this traditional approach disregarded the potential for deeper understanding and was overly narrow in its scope, suggesting that the investigation of the origin and nature of these laws should be seen as a legitimate scientific inquiry.
