Which laws of physics? I conjure up anything I wish within the recesses of my mind, yet everything I think is based on things that have existed.
Whitchraft, dragons, leprechauns all of these things have existed in our planet in one form or another. The imagination treads on what has already been, dinosaurs, witch doctors etc etc

For example: Place your hand on a table, then have someone who hates you hit your hand with a hammer. Try as you might imagine the hammer passing through your hand, the truth is the hammer will smash the bones.

So you're saying people can't think of new things? That everything is based on something that existed? Do you know nothing about history? Or about sociology and psychology? That's like saying theoretical physicist only ever have theories about things they see here on earth.
I'd like you to explain how the brain is able to produce information that is unrelated to anything it has experienced

What's difficult to understand? Isn't our scientific knowledge influenced by the books and works of men and women that came before us? Theories based on observable/experimental phenomena; on what was always there?
"New" knowledge has reference to something that already was.

😄 I don't expect the hammer to pass through me but it can in my mind, there's a place where my hand can be intangible. Why do people make so light of their thoughts? They are a corner of existence on their own.

I know what you are thinking. String theory allows for the possibility, but the power of the mind does not work that way. The mind cannot make the hammer pass through it. What the mind does is move the hand. It's far more efficient and is useful in alluding a predator. Evolution does not favor the supernatural.
