More importantly, time behaves differently than space, since in our universe it has become a symmetry-breaking extension (see section III.3.6, “Time and the Multiverse”). In fact, that is what makes time “time” instead of just another dimension of space. Conscious beings could only ever arise in such universes, so it is no surprise that we find ourselves in one. Indeed, things may well be different in other universes, but life won’t exist in them.
