The laws of physics in a universe could be subject to slight mutations so the offspring universe doesn't have the same parameters as its parent universe. An evolutionary process could lead to the development of the technology that shapes and define a specific universe.

Summary

Lee Smolin and other physicists have theorized that a black hole in one universe can serve as a big bang in another universe due to slight mutations of the physics parameters between parent and offspring universes. This suggests that our universe has been optimized to produce a large number of stars necessary for black holes to form.

The speaker hypothesizes that if they were to create a system that can evolve laws of physics, life, and intelligence, it's goal would be to create things that can think about itself in different ways, achieving complexity and reproduction in countless other universes.
