Just Six Numbers

The "Just Six Numbers" are six fundamental values that set the conditions for our universe to be life-friendly. These include constants like the strength of gravity, the electromagnetic force, and the ratios between different particle masses. If any of these numbers were slightly different, the universe might not support stars, planets, or life as we know it. Think of them as the core settings on a cosmic scale—small adjustments could make the universe inhospitable, highlighting how finely tuned our universe is. These numbers illustrate the delicate balance that allows our universe—and life—to exist.
