dcl ..... I am not asking why all of the physical constants have the values that they do. I think these values have the values that they do merely because we wouldn't be here to ask the question if they different,

me .... that is not a very satisfying argument ... how does it feel as a physicist having to put all the force ratios ..constants ..partical masses into your equations by hand ... they should arise from the theory and in an ideal world not be able to take any other values

then we could say ''see there you go thats explained ''

just to say well im here so that explains it is just utter nonsense imho

we need to understand how the universe came to be the way it is...thats physics...so the search continues and we have yet to explain how the
force ratios ..constants ..partical masses came to hold the values they do..

im sure that the future will make great in roads in our understanding

but it wont be im here so thats no suprise !!!! it is a suprise.!!!
:


the anthropic principle says i find myself in a universe i can be in

it DOES NOT say that the values are such SO I CAN BE HERE..... think these values have the values that they do merely because ....it is no reason

bugbear of mine
