![]() ![]() Random origin of the constants is well beyond this threshold -by orders of magnitude selection by lottery would only overcome this statistical obstacle if there were an infinite number of unobservable universes from which ours was selected, yet a universe generating “machine” would also have to be exceptionally highly ordered too, and contemporary physicists have recently suggesting that multiple universes would be clones of one another rather than infinitely variable as the infinite unobservable multi-universes lottery selection theory requires. Mathematician Emile Borel affirmed that anything with odds of happening less than one in 10^50 is impossible (Borel is best known for creating the the first effective theory of measuring sets of points beginning the modern theory of functions of a real variable). By comparison, there are 10^18 seconds since the creation of the universe and around 10^80 atoms in the observable universe). physicist Donald Page has calculated the odds as 1 in 10,000,000^124. Tinker ever so slightly with the values of any of the basic physical constants, and life would have been impossible, not just life of our kind, but life of any kind that involves complexity.īecause of their highly ordered nature, random origin of the constants has been widely conceded to be effectively zero probability (cf. ![]() They did not evolve: they simply were.Ĭosmologists Barrow and Tipler wondered what would happen if they were slightly different. These values did not develop but were present full-blown at singularity. You cannot derive their values from something more basic they simply occurred as “givens” from the first second of our universe’s existence. These constants were “finely tuned” to their present values when the universe came into existence out of absolutely nothing roughly 13.7 billion years ago. Among the most philosophically challenging scientific data of the last half century are those relating to the physical constants of the universe (listed below) which allow it to be a cosmos instead of utterly disordered chaos. ![]()
