Ryland is correct, 100 watts can not make 1 hp. It is a law of physics. I am a mechanical engineer so have to work within these laws everyday.
As for scientist changing the laws of physics, they are just modifing the laws we have now to work at the macro (universe) and micro (below subatomic) levels. The laws as written for earth scale are firm. It would take a radical changing in human knowledge to change the laws of physics regarding conservation of energy.
As far as torque and horsepower, horsepower = torque X RPM X constant for your units of measurement. If RPM = 0, then torque could equal 1,000,000 ft*lbs and horspower would still equal zero. 1,000,000 torque at 5252 rpm would equal 1,000,000 horsepower. Horsepower is what counts though, 1,000 torque at 0 RPM is useless in terms of moving something if you end with 0 torque above 0 rpm.
