Why Does the Universe Exist at All?

from Curious City: Exploring Science and Wonders Hosted by Synthetic Universe

This episode explores one of humanity’s deepest questions: why does the universe exist instead of absolute nothingness? Through modern cosmology, quantum physics, and theories involving the vacuum, mathematics, and the multiverse, scientists attempt to explain the origin of reality itself. Yet mysteries such as the fine-tuning of natural laws and the role of consciousness remain unresolved. The discussion bridges science and philosophy, suggesting that human awareness may be the universe reflecting upon its own existence — while the ultimate cause of everything could lie beyond the limits of human understanding.
