An infinite, beginningless and eternal Universe is taken seriously by scientists.

We know that QM is counter to intuition in many ways. In particular, it is probabilistic and not deterministic and it is not a realist theory: things do not have definite properties unless observed. But those have both been verified extensively.

A few fantasies come from the probabilities decribed by QM.
But if both mathematics and natural order demonstrate that all areas of probabilty have high and low zones, it is not unreasonable to assume that there is what may be best illustrated as a path of least reistance for all matter and energy.

I'm suggesting that the universe we have is the only possible outcome, if not one of a few.
