have you thought about this

If our reality came from anything, I would put my money on it being some sort of offshoot from another reality. Like it poked through and started something, or a bit of it broke off somehow.

After that, I'd go with simulation. I don't know of any other explanations that seem plausible yet.

These are just hunches of course, I'm not claiming to have evidence. But I can quite believe instead that our reality has just always been, in some form or other. Probably I'd say this is the most likely if I had to guess.

But I don't know enough of that fancy physics and cosmology to do better than hunches. I need to learn my ass some more when I'm up to it.
