What if the universe is not just consistent, but inevitable? What if the laws of physics were not chosen, tuned, or even “possible alternatives” but the only way reality could exist at all?

This piece is a personal journey that starts with a naive question about spacetime and ends in an uncomfortable place; the idea that quantum mechanics, gravity, and even physical constants might emerge from something simpler and more constrained than we expect.

I don’t ask you to believe the conclusions; only to consider the question: if reality had no freedom to be otherwise, what does that mean for physics… and for us? obviously 100% contrary to the 10^500 possible-universes of String Theory
