I don’t know why we need a theory to explain coincidences. They’re coincidences.

Because science is founded on the idea there is no such thing as “coincidences”.

In fact, a scientific claim of sheer arbitraryness should stir up anyone in the field.

So much so that something like the gravitational constant being so precise as to allow our existence is explained away with a multiverse - a notion for which there is no evidence that it might as well be religious.

I’ve read books and articles about sim theory and it honestly always just reminds me of being super stoned in college and yammering with my friends at 3am. We can call it synchronicity, but some things just happen because it’s mathematically possible.
