It's a very widely held myth that 'the laws of aerodynamics say that bumblebee can't fly, but no-one told the bee.'
Probably this is based on a simple linear treatment of oscillating aerofoils. This assumes small amplitude oscillations without flow separation, ignoring the effect of dynamic stall which causes an airflow separation inducing a large vortex above the wing. This vortex briefly produces several times the lift of the aerofoil in regular flight. The bumblebee flies because its wings encounter dynamic stall on every down stroke.
Bees beat their wings approximately 200 times a second, which is up to 20 times as fast as nerve impulses can fire. They achieve this because their thorax muscles don't expand and contract on each nerve firing, but rather vibrate like the string on a musical instrument.

How does morphing defy physics?
Because it defies the laws of physics
How does telekinesis defy the laws of physics?
Technically it is "outside" the realm of physics, so is classified as "metaphysics". Physicists are not willing to include a physical force produced directly from concentration by the mind in the list of observable or experimental forces. I suppose it would defy the laws of physics in that it would be "an effect with no observable cause".
Do skateboarders actually defy the laws of physics?
Absolutely not. Given the mass of the boarder, their velocity and the acceleration of gravity, you can predict all movements of a skateboarder with Newtonian physics.
How did Sentinel Prime simply 'defy our laws of physics' does that mean your laws of physics are flawed?
Sentinel Prime was fictional. That means it was made up, pretend, not real. Things that are made up, pretend, fictional, and not real, aren't bound by the laws of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or any other aspect of Nature. They can just go and do whatever their creator says they're doing. This behavior has no impact on the laws that the fictional entities defy, and no implication regarding their veracity.
