it'll be really interesting if one day its true and we could travel between em
"The mystery was why do we live in this special universe where everything
is nicely balanced in order for complexity and life to emerge?"
.. To be fair I think that's a question that answers itself?
Not to downplay Hawking, but this is some strange journalism. They just took the last paper he published and turned it into some groundbreaking discovery.

Maybe that's why we don't see any aliens? They simply have access to an infinite amounts of parallell universes, and that way have access to an infinite amount of their own world, thus never having the need to actually go anywhere?
Obviously. It look like a rather typical theoretical physics paper, but it's ~Hawking's last paper~ so of course science "journalism" is going to pretend it's the next big thing.
I'm sorry to be thick, but what do you mean by that? Are you suggesting that it has a religious origin, or something else?

Sounds like they're arguing for some version of the anthropic principle: if the universe isn't nicely balanced to allow for life, no one is around to question it.
Does this mean that at one moment you could have an infinitely low chance for a potentially infinite amount of parallels universes visiting your universe for the same purpose?
That would be a dirty trick from Nature is anyone could exploit it in that way.
Wait, if the universes are supposed to be more similar, wouldn't it make the question of why is this universe so fine-tuned for life even more puzzling rather then less?
Sure, but who would bother going to a universe where more people exist? If this is true then it's very possible that some other humans from different universes have been here before, but considering that we've seen no proof of this, if so then we are then most likely too early, in all infinite parallell universes, in the evolution. That there simply cannot be a civilization with multiverse travelling technology.
Who knows, maybe in a million years things will pop up from parallell universes like crazy?
What do you mean
What is this based on

"Priority warning. Outland stabilization force six Nova Prospekt.
Perimeter restrictors disengaged. Priority warning, perimeter
restrictors disengaged."
I think from what I read (just articles) its implied that the laws of physics in other universes have to be somewhat similar for there to be a universe to exist, so that at least one out of that set of rules generated complex life due to its slight changed conditions. but that's my interpretation.
It's all pretty extremely theoretical. When it comes to things of that magnitude, anything goes, and we aren't able to experimentally prove anything (yet?)
