Hi,

To say any universe is small (or young or any other comparative
quality) is only meaningful if there is a yardstick. In this
universe, in my mind, there is none yet for itself, let alone
others.

But if there are such yardsticks available in science then
please tell me what they are.


Luigi
Small means that in our universe you can have only one reality.
So anything is not possibly and not likely. Life conditions are limited.

In a multiverse solution you can have infinite realities... and in this
theory you can say that (almost) anything is possibly or likely in some of
these universes.
And there's no need to claim that we won an incredibly unlikely lottery.
With infinite tickets someone (us) took the right one...

In the biggest lottery in Italy you have only 1 on 625.000.000 possibility
to win.
But selling millions of tickets every extraction someone every 10-20 times
wins.
If they sell only one ticket it's a bit more difficult to win...

Our universe fine tuning conditions are a lot more unlikely...
So you really need lots of tickets (universes)...

The yard sticks are observed co peer confirmed one Universe Phil
and step out of the sci fi no evidence box Luigi for a moment. Try
thinking in terms of one scientifically observed immense Universe
permitting many many ticket galaxies.

Ray
Those galaxies all bought the same ticket or done the same set of numbers. The numbers are all the same whichever galaxy your in.

Perhaps the same present known applicable math numbers Ray, but
by no means always the same number potential particular real world
mixing and reducing applicable factors. For life to exist and evolve
requires exacting proper conditions perhaps not conducive in all
theoretical, observable, or possible galaxies, their formations,
including residing stars or planets. However your life analysis
propensity is correct, life begets life is true, where it science
possibly cause deduced originated is the question. All life preexistent
absent even in imaginary multiverse theory gives you the same answer on
both sides of dimensional evaluation or any possible applied
mathematical equation.
