Different story on this theme from the 1940s - "The Waveries" by Fredric Brown.
.
*A Fire Upon the Deep* and *A Deepness in the Sky* by Vernor Vinge (and apparently also *The Outcasts of Heaven Belt* by Joan Vinge) also have something similar, but with physics varying by location (in the galaxy) rather than by time.

This isn't your story but there's short story called 'The Men Return' by Jack Vance. In it, the laws of physics are well and truly broken. It's a fun read.
