Honestly, This makes a lot of sense. Intuitively it seemed strange to me for us to just happen to be in a universe that's barely older than the first set of stars out there, when there's so much matter in the universe that would have needed to have formed over billions of years in the heart of stars, which would then reach the end of their life cycle and nova -- that all this happens to line up awfully closely, especially with all the debris from those dead stars would need to scatter over light years of distance.

I am 100% with you on this.

It's very pop science, but I feel the same way about dark energy and string physics. It'll be nice when calculations can be made and we don't need unknown, unidentifiable, unquantifiable variables
