That may be how "things" have to work at a quantum level for anything to exist.
Maybe our whole universe can't exist without an opposite universe somewhere.
Together they are stable?
Stupid, probably? You're not the only ignoramus here! Hehe
HA! It's not stupid at all, those are good questions, and they illustrate what the OP is all about. Especially "Maybe our whole universe can't exist without an opposite universe somewhere." <= That is the starting point for the inquiry. Is there anything in the universe/multiverse/whateververse which has no conditions for its existence besides itself. In other words, is there any thing that exists about which we can ask, "Can it exist without the need for anything else existing?" If the answer is yes, then it is necessary.
Good stuff.
