Yes absolutely!! Weinberg is on record for saying the universe is "pointless" and he probably thinks being pointless is pretty repellent but I'll bet he nevertheless thinks the existence of the universe is plausible because he's smart enough to know that the universe (or the multiverse) is not obligated to be concerned with the personal likes and dislikes of Steven Weinberg. Feynman was smart enough to know that too, he didn't like many worlds any better that Weinberg but admitted "it's possible" because he didn't have a better idea that could explain the weird quantum world. As California Institute of Technology physicist and Many World s fan Sean Carroll says "Our job as scientists is to formulate the best possible description of the world as it is, not to force the world to bend to our pre-conceptions."
