Through the Fine-Tuning Argument we learn that the occurrence of a Universe that possesses life permitting conditions is extremely unlikely, if the values of any fundamental physical constants had differed only slightly from those observed, the evolution of the Universe would not have been possible. Iosif Shklovsky the famous astronomer and astrophysicist that co-authored Intelligent Life in the Universe in 1966, with Carl Sagan, reviewed these constants and retracted from his first conclusions and in front of a Soviet Scientific Council said that he believed it to be a “True Miracle” that intelligent life had ever developed, emphasizing the impossibility of chance.
Some of these Constants are:
Amount of mass and energy in the universe 1: 1010 123
Critical density of the universe 1:1015
Gravitational Constant: if it would vary in 1:1040
Expansion rate of the universe; if it would vary in 1:10120
Distance from the Sun
Axial tilt of Earth 23.5°
Size and Distance of the Moon
Rotation 24h
Strength of the Electro Magnetic Force
Strength of the Strong Nuclear Force
Strength of the Strong Nuclear Force
Speed of light: 299,792,458 ms-1 (Finite Speed)
The smallest variations in these constants would prohibit life of any kind.
