I'll defer to others for specific answers, but for many of those, if they were not in balance, then there would be instability. If the laws of physics allow for an imbalance, then the only universes that would have humans on some planet pondering these things would be those that are stable enough to support that. For example, consider #3. If it were not balanced, and in consideration of #16 going on everywhere, it would seem the universe would quickly become inhospitable to humans (unless the imbalance was super tiny). — jajsfaye
One foot in front of the other, so the world goes round and round. — Shamshir
The balance exists because it is relevant to our existence in relation to it. — Possibility
To go is neither here nor there,Walking gives more energy than it takes;
It’s as easy as falling forward makes.
Thoughts ‘come clear, cares fade, alertness tingles;
Life’s spirit whispers one along, wide awake. — PoeticUniverse
to see things in dualities in spite of the fact that the universe does not. — T Clark
Doses at the end, though stark. — Shamshir
So overdosing is actually a good thing, is it?Balance is the harbinger of death, and it's only in breaking balance, throwing it out of whack, that anything at all exists. — StreetlightX
Think it over — Shamshir
chirality — StreetlightX
So overdosing is actually a good thing, is it? — Shamshir
Hail to the right-handed neutrino! It tipped all the balances. — PoeticUniverse
So one imbalance ends another imbalance, and consequently produces yet another imbalance?Overdosing is the end of productive imbalance: death puts a stop to the controlled disequilibrium that is a living body, and puts an end to the asymmetric distinction of life from the inanimate that surrounds it. — StreetlightX
Had the balance not been tipped in favour of matter over antimatter at the beginning of the universe, each would have cancelled each other out and there would be no universe. — StreetlightX
There are now a billion photons for every proton, indicating 10**9 annihilations early on. Somehow the rest of the pairs rapidly moved apart from their partners, going to who knows where. Perhaps this supports the inflation theory. — PoeticUniverse
no particular reasons — Alan
deviations from the same center in different balancing directions — rlclauer
for many of those, if they were not in balance, then there would be instability. — jajsfaye
17. Two and only two stable charged matter particles in free space, the electron and the proton, and no uncharged matter particles. Only one stable energy particle in free space, the photon, neutral (or both positive and negative together), and no charged energy particles. (Neutrons decay within 12 minutes in free space.) — PoeticUniverse
