Other planets will definitely have the same laws of physics as us - as far as we know those apply throughout the universe. They may know more about the laws than we do, and have found ways to get beyond what we know how to do, so that they can travel faster than the speed of light, for example... it'll be interesting to find out (or, more likely, never find out but enjoy speculating!)
Under the standard Big Bang model the amount of matter-energy in the universe expanded massively in the picoseconds after the big bang and has been constant since then, with matter only being rearranged. So the new galaxies now forming are forming out of existing matter, rather than constituting new matter to the universe. Given that the universe is expanding, the average density is decreasing. Remember, though, that the most current theories suggest only 4% of the energy is the matter we can see - the other 96% of the universe is dark matter and dark energy.

So I am coming to the conclusion that there is a God or someone who created the universe, and what is in the bible is true, just extremely simplified. I do believe that God does speak to man, but he had to do it as simple as possible to avoid confusing him.

the other 96% of the universe is dark matter and dark energy. That sounds like what the Earth could have been before creation week started.

yeah, guess so, though that's a step away from 'ex nihilo'.
