I think it's much cleaner to assume all possible realities exist - otherwise you have to account for the fact that some do not exist.
Why would there be some possible realities and not others?
Much cleaner to assume that all possible realities exist.
Then when you ask, why is there not just nothing? You can answer, why would there be nothing rather than something? Is that not a special case? It is a special case and requires a cause to make it nothing rather than something.
And so we arrive at the concept of the void. That which is not nothing but rather all potentialities simultaneously. True nothing and everything are very similar.
What is the state of maximum disorder? A signal that is completely random. It's algorithmic complexity must be maximal. The program to describe it must be maximal and so within it, it contains all possible machines. All possible constructions, all universes.
Nothing is everything and so it is not possible to have nothing, and so the universe exists.

- simplify 5y agoWhy would being "cleaner" make any difference for the likelihood of a theory? Isn't "clean" just a made-up concept that merely means "pleasant" to the human mind? I don't see how "all cases" is any more likely than "one case".
