Earth's organisms developed via evolution. What if the cosmos did, too?

Some theoretical physicists propose "cosmological evolution," suggesting that universes may evolve and reproduce through black holes—spawning new universes with slight variations—similar to how organisms evolve on Earth. This fringe concept, recently boosted by a 2022 James Webb Space Telescope discovery and popular discourse, applies Darwinian principles to cosmology, though it remains far from proven and represents an extension of evolutionary theory to universal scales.
