The question of why there is something rather than nothing has always been the ultimate embarrassment to me. In the last few years, I have come around to Max @tegmark's position: existence is quite possibly the default. Everything that is implementable is implemented.

That truly is THE question. Does his mathematical universe theory charm your curiosity?

Replying to @jmeds2000 @tegmark
I think it is better expressed as computational. Noncomputable mathematics cannot be implemented, and thus I think they cannot exist. Neither the idea of a mathematical nor of a computational universe are new, of course.
