Could a universe with different constants produce life-supporting stars?

[Rahmuss]

If there are other Universes out there, they would have the same laws we have here. The reason for that is... laws had to exist before our Universe existed, or else our universe would not be here. Those same laws apply to all other universes out there to be created, and the universes don't make up laws as they grow and expand. So the "Universe" as DragonGod puts it is correct. An expanse that covers all universes with the same laws to create any universe out there, and therefore each universe would have the same laws.

Perhaps we could all spend some time getting our terminology onto a common basis?

I mean, 'universe' - one or many?
'laws' (of physics) - by definition, is there only one set (for the 'Universe', or all 'multiverses')? or does this term mean 'laws that we conclude apply in the (part of the) universe we can see'?
[and maybe some other semantic non-disagreements]

If we can agree on what we mean by the key terms we use, maybe we could get to have a real discussion.
