The Physical Constants and Adaption

[Mole]

The physical constants are:

Fundamental Physical Constants Name Symbol Value Speed of light [SIZE=+1]c[/SIZE] Planck constant [SIZE=+1]h[/SIZE] Planck constant [SIZE=+1]h[/SIZE] Planck hbar Planck hbar Gravitation constant [SIZE=+1]G[/SIZE] Boltzmann constant [SIZE=+1]k[/SIZE] Boltzmann constant [SIZE=+1]k[/SIZE] Molar gas constant [SIZE=+1]R[/SIZE] Avogadro's number [SIZE=+1]N[SUB]A[/SUB][/SIZE] 6.0221 x 10[SUP]23[/SUP] mol[SUP]-1[/SUP] Charge of electron [SIZE=+1]e[/SIZE] Permeability of vacuum Permittivity of vacuum Coulomb constant Faraday constant [SIZE=+1]F[/SIZE] Mass of electron Mass of electron Mass of proton Mass of proton Mass of neutron Mass of neutron Atomic mass unit [SIZE=+1]u[/SIZE] Atomic mass unit [SIZE=+1]u[/SIZE] Avogadro's number Stefan-Boltzmann constant Rydberg constant Bohr magneton Bohr magneton Flux quantum Bohr radius Standard atmosphere [SIZE=+1]atm[/SIZE] Wien displacement constant [SIZE=+1]b[/SIZE] Convenient combinations of constants

Go Back

The theists tell us a supernatural being created the physical constants just so we could come into being, but rather than the physical constants being created precisely for us, we have adapted to the physical constants.

So once again we see we are not the centre of the universe. This is too much for us to bear so we become neurotic, and like narcissists everywhere, we build castles in the air.
