Mathematics is a purely abstract concept, which also happens to be remarkably efficient at describing the universe. It does not require re-testing in different parts of the universe. Proving a theorem to be true in one corner of the universe is perfectly sufficient. Even if there were no universes in existence, the rules of math would still be the same, period. Mathematics (i.e. pure logic) is absolutely immutable. That's just a fact.

One can easily imagine how the laws of physics could be manipulated with a simple thought experiment. Imagine for a moment that our entire universe is a simulation running on some sort of hypercomputer. To manipulate the laws of physics, all that would need to be done is to alter the source code in some way. So you see, manipulating the laws of physics is at least theoretically possible. But there's absolutely no conceivable way in which pure logic could ever be manipulated, not even in a thought experiment. It simply can't be done, in reality, or in fiction.
