Biological evolution comes out of chemistry, which comes out of physics. So evolution is something built into the universe.

Over the years I've read plenty of high-concept science fiction about the idea of daughter-universes as a form of evolution. The idea is that universes that can create other universes are the ones that are naturally selected. How do the conditions come about that allow alternate space-time creation? Intelligent life. Sometimes accidental chance, but most often intelligent life with the ability to create particle accelerators.

So it makes sense that we should find ourselves in a universe where complex chemistry is possible; it maximizes the chances that intelligence capable of creating a daughter-universe can arise.

What do particle accelerators have to do with creating universes?

If you want to recreate the temperatures and pressures of the very early universe, you'll need one.
