Without the forces of the universe there would be no human to think about or express logic, but logic itself is more abstract than that. If gravity worked on an inverse cube law rather then an inverse square law, if light traveled at a different speed or if the speed of light in a vacuum was in no way a universal constant, if Plank's constant was different, or an electron had 1/4th the mass of a proton rather than a considerably smaller fraction, the basic mathematical and logical principles would still be true. Language is a construct of human beings, they invent it. I think logic and math is more discovered by humans then invented by them.
