<P><FONT SIZE=2>Of course, these adjustment buttons won't be easily accessible.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Need to work hard to find out.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>One reason for the existence of such adjustment buttons is to provide one</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>way out of the life game. Life is like a game. The adjustment buttons let</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>human beings go out of the human limits.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>The adjustment buttons are also physically possible because all microscopic particles</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>and macroscopic objects of the universe came from the same origin (like a big bang).</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>So all these microscopic particles and macroscopic objects share some kind of the shared</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>information from the big bang (like the entanglement in QM).</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>That's why the total status of the universe could be changed as a whole by some adjustment buttons.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>It is presumptuous to presume that the universe was made for our</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>benefit. Even if such 'buttons' existed, they may not even be anywhere</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>near our region of the universe or our future light cone. Parents do</FONT>
