I think we need to separate the powers of the Valar from the actual physical events that occur within Arda.

Those powers are outside the realm of this physical world of ours, but Tolkien's vision for the actions and consequences of those powers within the physical, natural world of Arda is that they would follow the physical laws as he understood them of this Earth.
