520 _a"The universe--or at least our corner of it--is pretty comfortable: not too hot, not too cold, not too much deadly radiation, not too many ravenous black holes. Some argue that it's suspiciously comfortable: The nature of atoms and molecules, the strengths of the forces, the properties of stars and galaxies---all of it seems to be 'just right' for us." (SKY & TELESCOPE) This article examines what may have happened to the universe if values such as gravity had been only slightly different.
