I'm a retired biochemist with a long-time interest in the questions "Why does a thing exist?" and "Why is there something rather than nothing?" (WSRTN) and how a solution to the latter can be used to make progress in physics via what I call a metaphysics-to-physics approach. I use an old answer to the first question - that a thing exists if it's a grouping, or what others call a unity or a one - to answer the WSRTN question. The "a thing exists if it's a grouping" idea can also provide a novel solution to Russell's Paradox, the Liar Sentence, etc. I also have side interests in the role of infinities and infinite sets in physics. Thanks…
