Some can believe that. Open question in comp. Actually this universe

I've spent quite a bit of time thinking about this and seem to
approach it from a different perspective than you have.
Not much use in wondering why something exists rather than nothing,
because obviously the latter is not the case.
I came to the conclusion, if something exists, why doesn't
