Sort of begs the question, doesn't it? Just kicks the existential mystery one step up the ontological ladder.

  Yes, of course it begs the question: that's the whole point of science. To explore and provide hypotheses which can be studied and potentially eventually proven when we can gain enough evidence at a later time. The problem with the universe is that, right now, we operate entirely within its confines and we know we don't even fully understand its physics, let alone any sort of 'physics' which may operate outside of it--should there be something outside of it. Unless something changes in our view of the universe, this will very likely remain a philosophical question, likely for our entire existence and the existence of whatever intelligent life forms replace the human race several times over in the coming billions of years of this planet.
