Why Does the Universe Taste This Way?

Daniel and Jorge explain the universe a production of iHard Radio. In which we enjoy the main course of everything that science has unraveled about the way the universe works as well as the spicy side dish of everything that we don't yet understand about the universe. Is it possible for the universe to have been different? If we ran the whole experiment again from the Big Bang would we end up with basically the same thing or were there some random twists and turns that determined the fate of our universe)? It's a deep question of philosophy and one that's inspired by specific discoveries we've made about particle physics.
