Hi Salice, Philip,
Just a quick intermezzo,
Nothing says that the zillion try- outs didn 't created universes somewhere
!
The only we grasp is the one we see around us.
The right universe as you say here in the post is the right for us.
Nothing contradicts the possibility that a zillion universes exit out there
for a whole bunch of other " us-ses ".
Best,
Kenneth
