If necessary then the obvious question arises. Why must the physical universe be as it is and no other way? If by chance, then an infinite regress ensues. Why is the multiverse fine-tuned to generate physical universes that are fine-tuned?
The common multiverse argument isn't that it is fine-tuned, but that among an infinite number of universes within the multiverse, there are bound to be universes with certain ranges of values that permit for human life just by "chance".
Magic bingo machine basically "Mechanical God did it!" :chuckle: Sound's like scienced up special pleading.
The arrangement of the infinite universes can geometrically "fine-tune" each universe. For instance, the amount of space each sphere takes up in an equal sized sphere pack is ~74.05%. Which was the first calculation for dark energy in our universe.
