Change one... ...and the whole system comes crashing down. The basic laws of physics, the speed of light, conservation of energy, inertia and gravity, the relationship of mass and energy, etc. The properties of physics are not isolated, each one depends on the framework entire, change one and you change them all. Change the speed of light and you change the basic physics of light, this also changes how atoms work. A significantly different speed of light and you no longer have molecules, chemical compounds and life. The same for gravity or any other of the basic forces. Most of the other laws of physics are based on the fundamental properties of either light, gravity, strong or weak EM forces. A minor change may be possible, but I think you are referring to substantial changes. So start tinkering with any of the basic laws and you quickly create a universe that cannot support stars or life. A bit like giving a three year old administrator access to your computer and showing them how the edit the registry, don?t expect it to boot up later.
