Ok why do we have these laws of physics though. Like why these particles, these forces, these constants. Why those initial conditions. Why is the word the way it is, instead of some other way?

Anybody know?

Like seriously, tumblr users, seriously. Let's fuckin give this a crack. Every single one of you who considers yourself some kind of scientist or philosophizer or whatever, you're a bunch of smart Posters. Give your best shot at an answer.

Why is reality the way that it is instead of some other way?

because if it was some other way it would not be the way that it is.

if it were different the chances are we would not be here to observe it (similar to asking why the planet we live on is the way it is - i.e habitable and not a ball of pure gas or lava - because it has to be in order for us to live on it in the first place)

I bet if a mushroom could lap water out of your hand with a tongue that a gently drinking mushroom tongue on your hand would be the softest and gentlest thing.

jesus christ, i experienced brief but severe grief over not actually being able to experience this.

I think it would feel like a lizard tongue but I've never had a lizard drink out of my hand either, and thus the whole thing remains conceptually elusive.
