In this popular science article, they say that if our universe resulted to be non-uniform (that is highly anisotropic and inhomogeneous) then the fundamental laws of physics could change from place to place in the entire universe.

But what theoretical basis does this claim have? 

I mean, I know that, as far as we know, the universe appears to be isotropic and homogeneous, but even then, let's assume for a moment that this was not the case. How does an anisotropic-inhomogeneous universe lead to this? If our spacetime was highly anisotropic and inhomogeneous would this be possible?

What if the universe was not uniform...?

In this popular science article they say that if our universe resulted to be non-uniform (that is highly anisotropic and inhomogeneous) then the fundamental laws of physics could change from plate to place in the entire universe.
