I think that we only presume.
What if there is no foundation for our 'truth' ?

And there are a natural trend to disregard what is left outside the papper.
All of the tests you mention are like:
There are 'tests' on the possible variation of 'c', 'G', 'alfa', and the test results are negative. None has achived a construction of a stable universe based in 'laws' where those constants (one at a a time ?, or combined,..) could be 'not constants'.
The exercise of varying things is pertinent because we have 3 basic physical equations and have more incognits (quantities M,L,T, and 'constants' epsilon,alfa,G,c)
The quantities are related to 'objects', say atoms, and constants are related to space (the way the space let thinghs go).
The 'tests' based on the quantities are doomed to fail, as they did, because there is something not written in the equations that matters:
We can not vary independently one or two of the quantities M,L,T, as they did in those tests. They can only vary at the same time because they are 'attached' to the 'atom scale'. It is so because it is the way we make 'rods', or rulers.
We will have a large/small 'metre' definition [L], and by 'c' constraint a larger/small time unit [T], naturally a 'large/small atom' will have a grater mass [M].
But this test was already made and claims to fit both local and cosmic data, with no break of known physical laws.
I think that those tests are mainstream physics, independent of the outcome 'fit/no fit', in particular if there is no break of laws.

The presumed invariance of the atom refers to the idea that atoms are considered to be unchangeable and indestructible particles. This concept has been widely accepted in the scientific community since the early 19th century.
The presumed invariance of the atom is supported by several lines of evidence, including the law of conservation of mass, the law of definite proportions, and the law of multiple proportions. These laws demonstrate that matter behaves in a predictable and consistent manner, indicating that atoms are indeed unchangeable.
While the presumed invariance of the atom is generally accepted, there have been a few exceptions discovered in the study of nuclear reactions and quantum mechanics. These exceptions do not negate the concept of the atom's invariance, but rather provide a deeper understanding of its behavior.
The concept of the atom has evolved over time, with advancements in technology and scientific discoveries. Early theories of the atom proposed by scientists like Democritus and John Dalton have been refined and expanded upon by scientists such as Niels Bohr, Erwin Schrödinger, and Werner Heisenberg.
The presumed invariance of the atom is a fundamental concept in chemistry and physics, providing a basis for understanding the behavior of matter and the formation of chemical compounds. Without this concept, it would be difficult to explain and predict the behavior of atoms and molecules, hindering scientific progress in these fields.
