Because the laws of nature are universal, and these are physically hard problems for us.

Yes, I don't think the laws of phyics are repealed for anyone. If these supposed "space beings" were to travel from another galaxy, they would be about 2,000,000 light years away. People seem to think traversing a distance like this is as easy as a trip to grandma's house. It isn't. One can't make that type of journey by physics, or any other known form of aerodynamics. I don't think the human mind is capable of truly understanding how vast space really is.

We rather ignorant humans have the capacity to create many artificial environments--some of which defy in a sense and to some degree the normal laws surrounding them.

We do this in space. We have done it on the moon. We do it in submarines and some say in bases at the bottom of the seas.

We do it in bell jars and industrial vacuum chambers.

We evidently do it with magnets and reportedly antigravity craft and chambers in remote places.

Certainly in terms of the laws of physics, our efforts are artificial, puny and temporary reprieves, as it were, in a very limited 3 dimensional space.

If WE so ignorant, and so flawed can have such fun with our limited awareness and capacities--is it really rational to doubt that God would have had fun creating a diversity of universes with a diversity of structural laws?

How can we know from our perspective? How can we know He didn't?
