I get the inversely proportional square law. Its a bit of a coincidence that the solar systems planets have all settled into stable orbits. Their seems to be a lot of handy coincidences when you look at the system, where it should be chaos.
There are a lot of coincidences like that. Many, but the other side of that thought is the anthropic reasoning.
If there are huge amounts of other universes each with different constants, much less happy coincidences, and generally really bad for supporting some kind of life, then of course we would find ourselves in this universe where life has a chance to flourish. This is the one universe out of 10^100^100^100 where everything fell together just right.
Although why universes are even a thing in the first place is still a mystery

I often wonder if when we dream we are glimpsing other worlds we are quantum entangled with. . . .

Or we have adjusted to life in this Universe, by selective reasoning etc. The environment only has to ensure physical survival, the rest can be attained with pleasurable coding of the input signals. To a dog the sky might not be blue, or the sun yellow. But its more pleasurable for us.

Right, but I'm using the guidelines that in order to have life evolve you need certain things like all the proper conditions to make stars which make carbon and things like that. Carbon is the most "sticky" element that allows others to bond to it.

The very nature of our dreams pretty much explains superposition in a nutshell, we are everything then see ourselves as just a small part.

Its not enough to just judge the waking day, into, our concept of what the nature of thing are, because for large amounts of time we are conscious somewhere else. We might not have a full memory recall when we are in that place, any more than we have full memory recall of when we are in this place. But for myself when I realised this has to be taken into the true nature of the way it is, things started to become more lucid when I was in this other state. To dismiss it as dream speculation isn't doing it the service it requires. Its most likely is the main permanent state that serves to generate this physical one. We certainly wont last long if we don't go their regularly.
