That's actually not a question of "why". Being able to support life is implied by our universe being ours.With a sufficient number of universes, the anthropic principal makes sense. With one universe with unvarying laws? Nope.
A teacher walks in on four kids making a huge mess of her classroom. She asks the kids to explain themselves. The first kid begins rambling incoherently. He seems to be saying the mess is real but he isn't, although it's hard to be sure. The second kid starts a monologue about the role of consciousness in observation, but the teacher cuts him off mid-sentence. Meanwhile, the third kid has closed its eyes, cupped its ears, and starting chanting "I can't hear you." Desperate, the teacher turns to the last kid. "I can't explain anything," he admits, "but I did come up with a mathematical model to describe it all".
This is paraphrased from a story told to me by a physics professor espousing the virtues of the "shut up and calculate!" approach. My own takeaway was that there's no interpretation of quantum mechanics that explains the relationship with classical mechanics. The only real difference is how they avoid actually explaining it.
>Go To Hospital[6] Jess makes it to a fairly uncrowded hospital.
Adrian Haw[3] Adrian stumbles to the television, turns it on, and hears a car commercial. Still half-asleep and hung-over, he slumps onto the couch, considering the merits of getting dressed now or later. He decides on now, and so just hears a news story. Something about a disease being studied at the University. Nothing major.
Waking up, hung over, Adrian notes that it's noon ((It's noon at this point right?)) Adrian thinks to himself Ugh, note to self: throwing up is your body telling you it is time to stop drinking Adrian then walks over to the TV and turns it on, the last channel the tv was on before being turned off previous was the news channel.
"Victor"[3] While Victor's logic doesn't seem to work on Gretchen, it works on Jaime, who helps Victor grab her. He then [2] tries to pick her up and carry her off but just ends up dragging her, kicking and screaming and followed by a vomiting Daren, through campus. Awkward much?
Pull Gretchen away from Darren take her and Jamie outside the room and hug Gretchen
"Im sorry but if you stay in there you'll get sick too. I cant let you back in that room"
Great, crowded hospital. Don't care how many sods I have to beat through to get out of here. I'm not sick and I am not going to be stuck here for the rest of my life.[1] Eric accidentally inhales some dust, sneezes, and gets dragged to a room and locked in. It's dark, and seems like some sort of neglected quarantine place. Someone else sneezes--sounds like there's at least half a dozen other people in here!
Eric Romani: Make way to the nearest Receptionist/Nurse/Doctor and ask to be tested.
