Probably, if you think "why is there mustard" and "Why big
ugly insects that only a mother would love " are the big questions.

There may just be an infinite number of universes, or what's called a
multiverse:

I wish that someone could answer the big question: why? why
multiuniverses?
why our universe? why the big bang? how did that happen?

"Why?" is a never ending question it seems, at least when you demand a
causal answer. Like "Why did the book fall off the table?" "Because I
pushed it." The effect resulted from a cause. But I have come to the
conclusion that there are thing which do not have causal explantions,
they just are. That's just their inherent nature, and there is no
"why?" involved. Like "why our universe?" Well, we have to exist in
*a* universe and it just happens to be this one. There is no "why?"
about it, it's an irrelevant and inappropriate question for the
situation.

More imnportant in these situations is the famous koan "What is the
sound of one hand clapping?" ;-)

It was a high school science project that got out of hand.

If it's true that an atom can exist in several different states at the same time, there could be an infinite numbers of universes. If atoms can exist in different states then it's seems unlikely that there can be only a single real existence.

OTOH, if an atom has only one state of being in time and if there's only one state it can move to, then it's seems unlikely that true randomness exists and everything that has happened or will happen was decided when the universe was born.

My guess is that it's one or the other. Pick the one that gives you the most comfort. :-)

Despite the "infinity" of space The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies will
crash into each other in four billion years
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-18285583 something to look
forward to.

Thanks for the link. The picture of Andromeda and our milk way crashing
into each other is pretty fanciful. I'm guessing that from our POV, the
night sky will appear to be mostly the same. OTOH, in 4 billion years,
the sun might be huge and this planet could be burnt to a crisp.
