>all our theories depend on two major assumptions: the universality of physical laws and the cosmological principle (the universe is homogeneous and isotropic)
What if our assumptions are wrong?-

Then Earth could be in a pressurized bubble that could pop any second, completely changing observable physics and quite possibly killing us all in an instant.
Then we'll correct our models, like we're supposed to do when we find out our models are wrong.

>the universality of physical laws
Physical laws are by definition universal (i.e., applicable to the entire physical universe).
If something is not universal, then it's not a physical law.
