there's a lot of talk of probabilities in the article but it seems hackneyed the universe has almost countless variables that can result in near-infinite states, but there is a 100% chance that one state must emerge (i.e. a 100% chance that reality exists), and it isn't clear if the alternative scenarios they describe (particles of different masses, stronger gravitational impact on stellar mass) are more probable than our own. the scientists see our state as optimal because we live in it, but why couldn't our state be suboptimal? maybe there was a potential state (never realized) that resulted in us all being omnipotent. there seems to be a bias from the researchers regarding our own state, but they haven't demonstrated that its any more or less likely than any other outcome
