Well as I'm sure everyone else is, I'm pretty sure the universe isn't fine tuned for life because that would be rediculous BUT I did hear this interview between two NASA people who weren't creationist or intelligent design advocates. They were talking about some density of something at the start of the big bang which is currently calculated to be some 19 digit or something number of grams per something else. It was density. If the density was just one higher, the universe would collapse in on itself, and if it was just one less, it would keep on expanding forever and the only appearent configuration to allow the universe we have now is the current number that astronomers have calculated. I'm sorry that my terminology is so low but I just wanted to get my question out there. Does anyone else know about this? If so, what is your take on it?
My personal take is that I think they would be using the wrong intervals. I mean, I can argue that if my neck was 9.3x10^-15 light years longer, I wouldn't be able to support my head's weight. So does that mean the length of my neck was fine tuned for my survival? My question would be, what if you would decrease the density of that 19 digit number by .000001 would that make a difference? Maybe not. I dont know. Does anyone else have any insight? Or anything they can inform me on that I am missing?
