I what think OP is referring to is not 'different' types of physics, chemistry etc. but something entirely different. In terms of comprehension, its like trying to imagine a new color that doesn't exist, not a shade or a mix of different colors but an entirely new one. Without seeing and experiencing it for yourself, its just not possible.

.... "chemistry etc. but something entirely"...
exactly the problem boils down to trying to imagine a thing that isn't a thing. it's a linguistic contradiction that's all.
See it's like this: there are things that aren't things, they're called abstractions, but see how I just felt forced to use the word 'things' at the beginning of the sentence above? That's the problem. Is there a satisfactory word that includes both abstractions and things or objects? I think not.
Abstractions are already free of the characteristics of things, which this question 'wants' to know how to escape. And awareness is an abstraction, but many choke on this point. But it has no color, weight, size, etc etc... Did you catch that language forced me to use the word 'it' and "it's " not an 'it'. It can't be said if it's verb or noun as "it's" context not content. Space is like wise tricky. Funnily it has no size; like wise time has no duration. The world is already very strange even without multiverses, etc. And language is so tricky this may make more sense after rereading.
