So asked Albert Einstein. He was being poetic. What he really meant, was whether the universe could have been any other way. Could it have had different laws of physics, driven by different fundamental constants. Or is this one vast and complex universe the inevitable result of an inevitable and unique underlying principle, perhaps expressible as a supremely elegant Theory of Everything. It certainly seems that Einstein thought this should be the case \u2026 that God had no choice in whether or how to create the world. It seems like a pretty arm-chair philosophical and perhaps unanswerable question, but the modern \u201cproblem\u201d of naturalness may lead to an answer.<\/p>\n<p>Check Out Our Patreon Interview with Looking Glass Universe Here:<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Quantum Entanglement &amp; Quantum Computing: An interview with Looking Glass Universe\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QPuVtvIOYcM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Sign Up on Patreon to get access to the Space Time Discord!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/pbsspacetime\">https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/pbsspacetime<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the Space Time Merch Store.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbsspacetime.com\/shop\">https:\/\/www.pbsspacetime.com\/shop<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sign up for the mailing list to get episode notifications and hear special announcements!<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog\/2025\/11\/are-the-fundamental-constants-finely-tuned-the-naturalness-problem\">Continue reading \u201cAre The Fundamental Constants Finely Tuned? | The Naturalness Problem\u201d | &gt;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn More About Anydesk: https:\/\/anydesk.com\/spacetime.
