About This Quote

The rules of physics are, in some cases, suspiciously anthropic. The phrase is intended to refer to the fact that the universe seems to be constructed such that life is possible, for instance giving just the right amount of mass and energy to create stars and life. Even though it is not proven, many scientists believe that there is a "cosmic fine-tuning" which has resulted in the universe having exactly the right amount of mass and energy for life, and also that there is a "fine-tuning" to our laws of physics and chemistry which supports the development and function of human beings.
