I'm pretty sure I've seen this before, with the example of our universe being a false vacuum with a short half-life.
I've seen a number very small mentions like that, but never anything giving it more than passing consideration. In addition, I haven't seen anyone postulate that this could be distorting our view of other physical laws.
If you've come across something more, I would love to see it!
Obviously it would distort our view of how quickly the universe decays into a true vacuum. There's also the mangled worlds idea to explain the Born rule.
Certainly it would do that, but that could have other effects. For instance, let's say that the presence of a magnetic monopole would rapidly nucleate a vacuum decay event which otherwise would not occur. That effect might explain why the standard model does not include magnetic monopoles.
I'll have to dig into mangled worlds, It seems pretty interesting. Will report back with results, hopefully.
