What do you do if after successfully discovering and studying billions of stars, galaxies and galaxy clusters ... you are stuck with one object - the universe - with nothing to compare to? One way is to multi-verse out of it another is to recognize the limitations of that methodology. While in principle you get to keep your methodology in the first approach, by definition you are now also left with unobservable phenomena flirting with the platonic world. In the same vein reflecting about the methodology also enters the realm of philosophy. But imho in a more honest way by calling out the default, construct another and get back into physics. A lot of platonic thinking prevalent in mathematics and physics isn't overtly discussed, mostly out of convenience as one mathematician put it: in my workdays I'm a Platonist and on my weekends I can also afford to be an Intuitionist.
