That the nuclei together, in the face of their natural electro-magnetic desire to repulse each other, should be just strong enough to achieve this, thus enabling the Universe to move beyond a state of pure hydrogen?<br /><br />Who made the charge on the proton exactly right for the stars to turn supernovae, and fine-tuned the nuclear resonance level for carbon to just delicate enough a degree that it could form, making life, all of which is built on a frame work of carbon, possible.<br /><br />A conscious decision or a one-in-a-trillion coincidence..<br /><br />I’m currently working my way through Richard Dawkings’ The God Delusion at the moment, so I’d have to say it’s coincidence. Either that or it’s Lovecraft’s idiot God of Nuclear fusion, Azathoth . After all, why settle for the lesser of two evils, when you could have the greater?<br /> <br />Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.Brightestsmilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529005791780136095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331763119188059657.post-81192973579181058532009-05-04T18:03:00.000+08:002009-05-04T18:03:00.000+08:00Which puts me in mind of the Martin Plimmer & ...Which puts me in mind of the Martin Plimmer & Brian King book, Beyond Coincidence;<br /><br /><br />The Ultimate Coincidence. We’re talking about the fundamental physical laws pertaining to the day-to-day running of the Universe. Physicists call them the fundamental constants – things like the masses of atomic particles, the speed of light, the electric charges of electrons, the strength of gravitational force... we’re beginning to realise just how finely balanced they are. One flip of a decimal point either way and things would start to go seriously wrong. Matter wouldn’t form, stars wouldn’t twinkle, the Universe as we know it wouldn’t exist, nor would we.<br /><br />The cosmic harmony that made life possible exists at the mercy of what appears to be most unlikely odds.Brightestsmilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529005791780136095noreply@blogger.com
