Unexplained Cosmological Constants

Numbers the Universe Cannot Explain

Nudge a handful of numbers and the universe goes dark: no stars, no chemistry, no you.

• The cosmological constant: life-permitting to about 1 part in 10¹¹⁶
• The Higgs field, gravity, the fine-structure constant: each in a narrow window
• The catch: no known principle explains why they hold those values. They go into physics; they don't come out of it.

What it won't claim: that they can never be explained, that they prove God, or one giant combined probability. A future theory could overturn it, and the book says so.
