Ok, I get the idea now. Q-mechanic is the extension of C-mechanic. But the developing of those subjects requires an unique way of thinking (ie. reasoning, logic), and it is unique to the humans. In fact, the thinking method that leads to the development of physics is unique to the western civilization. You know, there is a reason why modern science was established by them rather then by the Chinese. My point is, if the thinking method of an imaginary civilization is completely different from us, the physics they develop (of course, we can not call it physics anymore) will not be the same as C-mechanic or Q-mechanic.
In other words, the universe is so huge that no one can see its whole picture. As humans, we develop science in order to explain the part of universe we can see.
How do you define a higher being that defines all physic laws? I'll take it as another civilization in OUR universe...since if you create a whole new universe, how physic laws differs renders the whole discussion useless. Let's assume, that they're from Pluto, we call them Plutons.
So, first thing first, the ways of define differs yet laws prevail.
In ancient earth, apple drops to the ground. Today apple still drops to the ground. Ancient human say "The land sucks the apple down", we say today that it is called "Gravity".
Now, apple, if it exists on Pluto, it's still going to drop to the ground cuz Pluto still have gravity. Pluton civilization doesn't just come out of nowhere, it took time to evolve. So, even if Plutons define this mechanic in a higher level now, at one point in their history, they still says "Gravity" or "Land sucks the apple down".
See? Higher beings are higher beings because they lived and evolved longer than we did, not because they're made superier.
Back to the physics. Now, Plutons may describe the universe using Ultra-advance laws that far surpassed Classic Mechanics or even Quatum Mechanics, I'm pretty sure that those things still exist in their old books written centuries back. They've used them in far past. They WERE useful. The steps they followed aren't too different from ours---unless they encountered even higher races from the other side of the galaxy---this also only helps them to just JUMP forward in evolution.
Westrn civilization now defines the way of defining the universe because they happened to be the one who builds up a superier world in the past couple of centuries.(1800~)
BUT! look at the days before, the medieval age.
Americans rules now, they don't exist back then.
Europeans too, they seem superier than Asians or rather say Chinese yet when Chinese built up the Dynasties they still live in damn caves.
Japan...well, when Chinese already have written culture and literature they were eating GRASS!
And of course not to mention that the first damn physic book is written by Chinese actually.
Western culture isn't really that different from ours, it is just that they caught the right time and the right chance.
Other than saying Western civilization is alien, I would say Issac Newton was alien, Einstein too. They were alien enough to push a civilization forward. Maybe not because they're smart but because they already knew. So your theory applies to individuals, not races.
