Where did the universe come from? Atheistic origin science has no answer.

I agree with almost everything you say. I don't get the urgency to solve the specificity problem, and I have no problem with true randomness selecting a subset, but I share the view that from a QM interpretation perspective, the multiverse is conceptually the most parsimonious scenario even if it subjectively seems wasteful.

I don't get your idea that the physical constants should add up to zero. That doesn't even make sense.

You just restored my faith in humanity.  Smile

In virtual particle pairs, the sum of each of the quantum numbers of the two particles is zero. If they were not, conservation laws would be violated.  Any configuration allowed by the physical laws of this universe is allowed as long as everything is balanced. If all possible universes exist, for every physical constant that exists in a particular universe and has some specific value, there will necessarily be another universe with the same kind of constant but a value that is the exact opposite of that in the first universe. As a result, in the multiverse as a whole everything will be balanced by its exact opposite.  As with the virtual particle pairs, the sum is zero. There are no arbitrary imbalances to explain.  In a sense everything is also nothing.
The secret of happiness is this: let your interests be as wide as possible, and let your reactions to the things and persons that interest you be as far as possible friendly rather than hostile.
