Why that is? Don't be silly, it's because of the catthropic principle, of course! If the universe wasn't amenable to reason, neither mice nor humans would behave predictably, we cats would starve, and there would be nobody around to ask why the universe is amenable to reason.
Really quite enormously big.
I have to go along with this description while I try to dig up some even bigger superlatives! LOL!
