I read a pretty cool online science fiction story called Fine Structure which touches on this. I'm halfway debating posting a main topic for it since I can't find one already, but describing it is difficult at best without spoiling it... I'll just pull a section from TVtropes' entry:
Don't let the first story throw you off. It'll come off as mostly nonsense (and it is, I think, or it just went WWAAYY over my head), but I had a friend of mine stop reading there because I couldn't persuade him that's the only section like that. Twenty Minutes into the Future, scientists have discovered a set of technologies that break the laws of physics as we know them, such as teleportation or other dimensions, as well as a list of the real laws of physics. Worryingly, the scientists studying these technologies are dying in mysterious "accidents". More worryingly, the laws of physics appear to be changing over time, in such a way that each newly discovered technology can only be used once.
