I keep coming back to a perspective that none of this universe theory stuff has to be real (or the truth). Attempting to understand the concepts simply leads to an expanded view of it all, and can be fun.
Most of the theories predict the behaviours of things. People take comfort in predictability. They get to be right .. which is a buzz for them. The theories also result in discoveries, and technologies, which improve all our lives. They also satisfy our own insatiable curiosity.
So many take it all far too seriously, though.
I get a lot of comfort from these perspectives.
Each to his own, I guess.
Cheers
