The absurdity of the Universe vs Many Worlds Scenario
The absurdity of the scales of the universe, the seemingly pointless life, the cold indifference of this indescribably vast universe all point to an absurdity. I don't think for a moment this absurdity will end beyond the limit of our universe. Just 2000 years ago people thought the world(presently universe) was not much bigger than our Solar System. Now we know the "world" is more than 30 billion light years in diameter, with all the absurd implications arising from this. I am not prepared for this absurdity to end. IMHO, the "madness" is just beginning and the many world scenario is beginning to settle down in my mind along with the idea that what we perceive as 'world' is much much bigger than we currently think it is. It just makes sense, among a dozen other theories that so far fail to. One day, I believe, we'll be talking about it as a simple fact of life.
On the other hand, if everything in the universe made sense to us, wouldn't this point us to some super artificial intelligence standing behind all this? Then some scientist might come up with a theory that nothing in the universe was made to make sense to us - we are just super adaptive to the laws of the universe and that they don't make sense. We just think they do, but they don't. And that would start another never-ending cycle of confusion. For the record, the Universe makes much less sense now with all our knowledge, science and discoveries, than 2000 years ago. But Einstein put it best - "The universe is not stranger than we imagine, it's stranger than we can imagine"(sometimes i get the feeling Einstein is trying to tell us something that's not conveyed with the first reading of this thought). Just my 2 cents worth
