"This also explains the Fine-Tuned Universe."

Not true. Consider the anthropic principle, which says that we must be in a universe that has parameters such that we could come into existence in the first place if we are here asking this question. In other words, we couldn't ask the question unless our universe had the "right" parameters to begin with.

Far better explanations of the Anthropic Principle are available at: http://www.anthropic-principle.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic_principle

Our virtual Universe had the right parameters. Those may be completely different when you go up in scope.
