The laws of physics, at least as far as we understand them, absolutely preclude changing our position in any way that would reveal anything outside our observable universe

I do not agree. I don't believe the laws of physics are the limiting factor.

The edge of the observable universe is moving away from us faster than the speed of light from our perspective. (Due to space stretching) So we'd need to go faster than the speed of light to catch up.

You could also use a wormhole to travel to different universes. It 'breaks' the speed of light, so all bets are off.
