RE: The universe with its constants gives us physics, stars give us chemistry and planets give us biology

in #stars7 years ago

@Gavvet, Earth is often referred to as a Goldilocks planet. Bacterial, single-celled organisms or complex and diverse organisms with cognitive intelligence? In order for an advanced species to evolve and emerge as an intelligent, cognitive being such as humans - numerous other Goldilocks factors need to occur. It's not just about the water. Fortunately for us, we have that advantage.
The universe come with tight specifications and they never vary. Wherever you are in the universe, the mass of the electron, the speed of light , and the strength of the gravitational force is the same. In physics, we encounter these so-called fundamental constants so often, we barely give them a second thought. Thank you for the discuss greatest science topic.

Regarding life: I always think it,'s much about radiation. How could creatures outside earth handle that?
