    More on just how unlikely, almost impossible, our universe is if it
    isn't part of a multiverse or hasn't been designed:

    https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-the-hidden-higgs-could-reveal-our-universes-dark-sector-20170926/


    "The problem in the Standard Model lies in the fact that the measured
    mass of the Higgs is about 100 million billion times smaller than what
    quantum mechanics suggests it should be. From the standpoint of the
    Standard Model, this can be true only as a result of an extremely
    unlikely coincidence involving the values of some of the universe’s fundamental building blocks. (The coincidence is also exceptionally
    fortunate, because without it, atoms and everything they’re made of couldn’t exist.) Physicists call this situation the “hierarchy
    problem” and see it as evidence that the Standard Model is only an approximation of a more comprehensive theory that would explain the
    Higgs mass “naturally” — as the result of some mechanism other than an apparent miracle."

    A Ph.D who lives a few doors down lent this to me a few months ago and
    I'm now on my second reading (it has complex concepts which didn't
    properly sink in on the first read).

    I have come to the view that we either inhabit one of an infinite
    range of universes (multiverse) *or* this universe, the only universe,
    has been designed for life and consciousness.

    This is because, as explained in the book (and in many others, but not
    so cogently to date) the chances of all of the variables and constants
    (quark masses, cosmological constant, to name a few) assuming their
    current values if there is one and only one universe are so
    infinitisemal that one would have far more chance of winning national
    lottery a million times over in an unbroken row.

    In a designed universe there is unit chance. In a multiverse, this
    universe will eventually (just like the typing monkeys) come about.
    So, it's one or the other. Pure chance doesn't work.

    There are now apparently very few, and diminishing at that, scientists
    now who dispute this. I'm presently leaning towards designer but not necessarily theistic (although such a designer may as well be a god).

    which, imho, is what basically happens when some dumb species with it's
    head firmly jammed up its own arsehole gets to trying to figure things
    out? hah! (absolutely true!) - in that we're seeing shit from the inside
    out and don't/never realise it! (really laughing...)

    that 'most' of what's 'out there' is totally 'beyond' our ability to... conceptualise!

    something that the standard model actually highlights, albeit indirectly?

    i.e., we KNOW (are aware of) there's a 95% HOLE in it the model!

    a hole we 'assume' we'll fill-in more as time goes on, so we ignore it!

    truth being; we never GET that figure to go below 90%!

    the implication being; we may only ever get to know our OWN bit of the universe, if that!

    IF we're lucky! :)

    No, the point is that there is a choice - (a) the universe is so
    improbable that it has been fine tuned for life (scientists don't use
    the term "design", they use the term "fine tuned"); (b) the universe
    is one of an infinite number of universes and however improbable, it
    is bound to come about by sheer chance.

    You have a choice. You can dispense with any notion of "tech
    support", "originator", "it", "god" etc and just opt for a multiverse.
    This is the way most scientists orient themselves.

    In Castaneda's time, there was little talk of multiple universes let
    alone infinite universes. He died last century and most of the really
    exciting discoveries and theories about spontaneous universe creation
    (see https://arxiv.org/abs/1404.1207 for example) - the alternative
    theories of multiverse and fine-tuning are recent theories but very
    strong indeed, they were not generally available or even available at
    all in Castaneda's time. Otherwise, he would have undoubtedly grabbed
    at these theories rather than just using, as you say, the word "it" in
    opting for the "designer" part of the "design" theory.

    I opt for multiverse. This means there are other "me's", perhaps an
    infinite number of them, in an infinite number of highly improbabe
    universes which are fine tuned for life.

    It is a better option than opting for "design" or a "fine tuned"
    universe which is the ONLY universe, because that just kicks the can
    down the road - there must then be a "designer", which I don't much
    like to confront. Better to go for multiverse...

    Slider you are MISSING THE FUCKING POINT!!

    I wonder why I bother.

    I'll spell out the point below, nice and slow and simple. You need to
    do what I do, which is read it and re-read it UNTIL IT SINKS IN!

    This is where science is today, in 2017. It is light years from where
    science was 10 years ago, even 5 years ago. This is what the vast
    majority of scientists believe is the case, now, today. Your bullshit "think/conjecture" (whatever the fuck that means) has nothing to do
    with anything.

    Apply self discipline. Apply rigor. Read the following. Re-read it
    if you don't get it, until you DO get it. You can do this, ok?

    1. **Everything** is made of just three particles - the electron, the
    up quark and the down quark. THIS IS FACT. The proton is one down
    quark + two up quarks; the neutron is one up quark and two down
    quarks; the electron is just the electron. These combinations make
    the atom. Different numbers of protons make the elements. Different
    numbers of neutrons make the isotopes. But they all, atoms, elements
    and isotopes, are made just of electrons, up quarks and down quarks.

    (note: the other particles such as charm, top, strange and bottom- and
    the two with weird charges of +2/3 and -1/2- exist only in particle accelerators and this is a mystery itself, why have these other two
    generations of particles when the entire universe only uses the
    aforesaid electron, up and down quarks? Solve that one and you get
    more than the fucking Nobel Prize :)

    2. In our universe, the three particles have specific masses - the up
    and down quarks are exactly 4.5 and 9.4 times the mass of the
    electron. We don't know why. What we can do is hypotesise universes
    in which the masses of the fundamental three particles are different,
    from slightly different right up to the masses required to collapse
    into a black hole. We can plot these masses on ordinary axes - X and
    Y and see what effects there are on chemistry. We need chemistry in a
    universe in order to permit the existence of LIFE.

    3. Particle mass is measured in electronvolts. The electron, up
    quark and down quark (don't forget, everything in the universe is made
    of these three fundamental particles) have 0.510,998,928, 2.3 and 4.8 megalectronvolts (MeV) respectively. What happens if the electron
    has, say, 0.510,998,92*7* MeV, or the difference between the up and
    down quarks (which is 4.8 - 2.3=2.5 MeV) is 2.6 MeV? Can life still
    occur, or can even chemistry still occur? Or will we have a universe
    with only hydrogen in it, or only helium, or not even that - just
    protons in an infinited thinning soup for all eternity?

    (Note: the difference between up and down quark masses is used to
    generate just one of two axes, otherwise we would have three axes
    which would very much complicate things :)

    4. These two axes have been plotted. The vertical axis (the
    difference between the masses of the up and down quarks) can extend
    from 0 to the Planck Mass (the limit of our theories) - it will extend
    from a point at 0 right up to about 20,000 or so LIGHT YEARS!! The
    horizontal (electron mass) also extends from 0 right up to 20,000 or
    so LIGHT YEARS!!

    5. Yet our universe's electron, up and down quark masses reside in a
    small isosceles triangle the base of which is about an inch in height
    and the sides of which are about half an inch or so. So, the masses
    alone of the three particles which give rise to an inhabitable
    universe capable of chemistry are possible only in less than a square
    inch of a graph the area of which is HALF A BILLION SQUARE LIGHT
    YEARS!!!!

    6. For instance, if on this 20,000 light year scale one increases and decreases the masses of the electron, up and down quark just within a
    metre or so vertically and horizontally we end up with, in no
    particular order - no protons or neutons but a new particle called
    the delta, with only one chemical reaction possible; a hydrogen only
    universe, with only one chemical reaction possible; a neutron only
    universe with no chemical reactions possible - and so on. Extend the
    changes to say a light year, and we are in the realms of no particles
    at all and no forces, just quarks with immense masses or the same with electrons.

    7. So, the probability if THIS is the ONLY UNIVERSE of the three
    fundamental particles assuming the values they do in less than a
    square inch out of a possible 400,000,000 square light years is -
    well, it's FUCKING SMALLER THAN YOUR CHANCE OF WINNING LOTTO A
    THOUSAND TIMES IN A ROW!!

    8. That, effectively, is impossible. This universe therefore did not
    arise by chance IF IT IS THE ONLY UNIVERSE.

    9. There are many other variables which can be tweaked such as the
    strength of the four fundamental forces, the strong, weak,
    electromagnetic and force of gravity. Change any of these and things
    fall apart completely.

    10. What about the personalities of the fundamental forces? The
    quantised "spin" (dividing particles into bosons and fermions) for
    instance? Why do the particles have these integer and non-integer
    values specifically? If they differed then the universe, again, would
    be dead.

    11. Then there are the constants - pi, why does it have the value it
    does (which is so far uncalculable)? Or Avogadro's constant? You get
    the idea...

    Oh yes, we've calculated within the limits of our knowledge the mass
    of the Higgs Boson - 10^18 GeV!! This takes into account the mass contributions from the quantum vacuum (yep, stuff coming into
    existence from nothing, a bit like universes). However, this is not
    correct - life could not form nor a stable universe if this was
    correct. There is an unknown mechanism which slices off the
    contributions of the quantum vacuum fluctuations down to the
    observable value which gives our fundamental particles the low masses
    we observe and which are necessary for life. This could be anything,
    we simply don't know. In a universe with a different "value" to this
    unknown "mechanism", the mass of the Higgs Boson would differ and the
    masses of the fundamental particles would sterilise any possibility of
    life, chemistry or indeed stability. Our universe would be a soup of
    something at best.

    So, our universe emerging with the values which it has and which are
    necessary for chemistry and life are so small that you could write a
    zero on every particle in the observed universe, preceded by a ".",
    and you would still have a greater chance of that probability
    crystalising than the universe itself emerging spontaneously...

    UNLESS - there are infinite universes and we inhabit one of them
    because in infinity, sooner or MUCH LATER, a universe in which these
    values exist WILL EMERGE. This is the multiverse theory.

    UNLESS - this universe has been crafted so as to permit stability,
    chemistry and life. This is the design theory.

    TAKE YOUR CHOICE.

    Now, slider, if you've followed the above (re-read the cunt, you dill,
    until you DO) - doesn't this make your life easier? You can narrow
    down your questing for meaning into two simple choices - multiverse or
    design.

    If you choose multiverse, you don't need a designer and you most
    certainly don't need a god or an "it" or anything like that.

    If you choose design, then you need to start to ask other questions -
    if we have a design, there must be a designer. That designer, is it a
    machine, an advanced human(ity), a "god" (whatever that means) and so
    on. That's a fucking rabbit hole if ever I saw one.

    Choose multiverse. You live in an infinity of other universes in this selection (and you die an infinite number of times in every possible
    way). I do.

    Brain, show you have some "brain" and try to follow the above. It's
    not that hard.








    Listen: We are here to fart around.
    Don't let anybody tell you any different.

    so, and I think I overestimated you, too bad for you I guess. You'll
    never know anything of real value if you don't put the effort in but
    if you simply cannot, then true value is forevermore out of reach for
    you. In this case, I truly feel sorry for you. Carry on dreaming :)

    On the other hand, I'm willing to put a little more work into your
    case but not a lot more, ok? I suggest you read what I wrote again
    until it sinks in and then come back here with something that doesn't
    paint you as an irredeemable lowbrow. Just try, and I'll give you
    another chance :)

    Slider you are MISSING THE FUCKING POINT!!

    I wonder why I bother.

    I'll spell out the point below, nice and slow and simple. You need to
    do what I do, which is read it and re-read it UNTIL IT SINKS IN!

    This is where science is today, in 2017. It is light years from where science was 10 years ago, even 5 years ago. This is what the vast
    majority of scientists believe is the case, now, today. Your bullshit "think/conjecture" (whatever the fuck that means) has nothing to do
    with anything.

    Apply self discipline. Apply rigor. Read the following. Re-read it
    if you don't get it, until you DO get it. You can do this, ok?

    1. **Everything** is made of just three particles - the electron, the
    up quark and the down quark. THIS IS FACT. The proton is one down


    Ever heard of stringtheory? And go away with that reactive and proactive
    shit!



    quark + two up quarks; the neutron is one up quark and two down
    quarks; the electron is just the electron. These combinations make
    the atom. Different numbers of protons make the elements. Different
    numbers of neutrons make the isotopes. But they all, atoms, elements
    and isotopes, are made just of electrons, up quarks and down quarks.

    (note: the other particles such as charm, top, strange and bottom- and
    the two with weird charges of +2/3 and -1/2- exist only in particle accelerators and this is a mystery itself, why have these other two generations of particles when the entire universe only uses the
    aforesaid electron, up and down quarks? Solve that one and you get
    more than the fucking Nobel Prize :)

    2. In our universe, the three particles have specific masses - the up
    and down quarks are exactly 4.5 and 9.4 times the mass of the
    electron. We don't know why. What we can do is hypotesise universes
    in which the masses of the fundamental three particles are different,
    from slightly different right up to the masses required to collapse
    into a black hole. We can plot these masses on ordinary axes - X and
    Y and see what effects there are on chemistry. We need chemistry in a universe in order to permit the existence of LIFE.

    3. Particle mass is measured in electronvolts. The electron, up
    quark and down quark (don't forget, everything in the universe is made
    of these three fundamental particles) have 0.510,998,928, 2.3 and 4.8 megalectronvolts (MeV) respectively. What happens if the electron
    has, say, 0.510,998,92*7* MeV, or the difference between the up and
    down quarks (which is 4.8 - 2.3=2.5 MeV) is 2.6 MeV? Can life still
    occur, or can even chemistry still occur? Or will we have a universe
    with only hydrogen in it, or only helium, or not even that - just
    protons in an infinited thinning soup for all eternity?

    (Note: the difference between up and down quark masses is used to
    generate just one of two axes, otherwise we would have three axes
    which would very much complicate things :)

    4. These two axes have been plotted. The vertical axis (the
    difference between the masses of the up and down quarks) can extend
    from 0 to the Planck Mass (the limit of our theories) - it will extend
    from a point at 0 right up to about 20,000 or so LIGHT YEARS!! The horizontal (electron mass) also extends from 0 right up to 20,000 or
    so LIGHT YEARS!!

    5. Yet our universe's electron, up and down quark masses reside in a
    small isosceles triangle the base of which is about an inch in height
    and the sides of which are about half an inch or so. So, the masses
    alone of the three particles which give rise to an inhabitable
    universe capable of chemistry are possible only in less than a square
    inch of a graph the area of which is HALF A BILLION SQUARE LIGHT
    YEARS!!!!

    6. For instance, if on this 20,000 light year scale one increases and decreases the masses of the electron, up and down quark just within a
    metre or so vertically and horizontally we end up with, in no
    particular order - no protons or neutons but a new particle called
    the delta, with only one chemical reaction possible; a hydrogen only universe, with only one chemical reaction possible; a neutron only
    universe with no chemical reactions possible - and so on. Extend the
    changes to say a light year, and we are in the realms of no particles
    at all and no forces, just quarks with immense masses or the same with electrons.

    7. So, the probability if THIS is the ONLY UNIVERSE of the three
    fundamental particles assuming the values they do in less than a
    square inch out of a possible 400,000,000 square light years is -
    well, it's FUCKING SMALLER THAN YOUR CHANCE OF WINNING LOTTO A
    THOUSAND TIMES IN A ROW!!

    8. That, effectively, is impossible. This universe therefore did not
    arise by chance IF IT IS THE ONLY UNIVERSE.

    9. There are many other variables which can be tweaked such as the
    strength of the four fundamental forces, the strong, weak,
    electromagnetic and force of gravity. Change any of these and things
    fall apart completely.

    10. What about the personalities of the fundamental forces? The
    quantised "spin" (dividing particles into bosons and fermions) for
    instance? Why do the particles have these integer and non-integer
    values specifically? If they differed then the universe, again, would
    be dead.

    11. Then there are the constants - pi, why does it have the value it
    does (which is so far uncalculable)? Or Avogadro's constant? You get
    the idea...

    Oh yes, we've calculated within the limits of our knowledge the mass
    of the Higgs Boson - 10^18 GeV!! This takes into account the mass contributions from the quantum vacuum (yep, stuff coming into
    existence from nothing, a bit like universes). However, this is not
    correct - life could not form nor a stable universe if this was
    correct. There is an unknown mechanism which slices off the
    contributions of the quantum vacuum fluctuations down to the
    observable value which gives our fundamental particles the low masses
    we observe and which are necessary for life. This could be anything,
    we simply don't know. In a universe with a different "value" to this
    unknown "mechanism", the mass of the Higgs Boson would differ and the
    masses of the fundamental particles would sterilise any possibility of
    life, chemistry or indeed stability. Our universe would be a soup of something at best.

    So, our universe emerging with the values which it has and which are necessary for chemistry and life are so small that you could write a
    zero on every particle in the observed universe, preceded by a ".",
    and you would still have a greater chance of that probability
    crystalising than the universe itself emerging spontaneously...

    UNLESS - there are infinite universes and we inhabit one of them
    because in infinity, sooner or MUCH LATER, a universe in which these
    values exist WILL EMERGE. This is the multiverse theory.

    UNLESS - this universe has been crafted so as to permit stability,
    chemistry and life. This is the design theory.

    TAKE YOUR CHOICE.

    Now, slider, if you've followed the above (re-read the cunt, you dill,
    until you DO) - doesn't this make your life easier? You can narrow
    down your questing for meaning into two simple choices - multiverse or design.

    If you choose multiverse, you don't need a designer and you most
    certainly don't need a god or an "it" or anything like that.

    If you choose design, then you need to start to ask other questions -
    if we have a design, there must be a designer. That designer, is it a machine, an advanced human(ity), a "god" (whatever that means) and so
    on. That's a fucking rabbit hole if ever I saw one.

    Choose multiverse. You live in an infinity of other universes in this selection (and you die an infinite number of times in every possible
    way). I do.

    Brain, show you have some "brain" and try to follow the above. It's
    not that hard.

    understand
    a simple metaphor that even a CHILD could grasp, then it's just too bad!
    for YOU!

    coz it's YOU that needs to KEEP reading it until it finally sinks in
    hah!
    :)

    ALL you can see IS your holy model!?! duh!

    fuck the standard model! (laughing...)

    it's all a CROCK of fabricated/tweaked shit! :)))

    and the higgs (or at least what they're 'calling' the higgs) is bullshit
    too!

    it's too light! that, or they've gotten the physics of the whole thing
    completely wrong in the first instance (which IS more than likely after
    all!) and the standard model is crap!

    i.e., chances are... dark matter, dark energy & dark flow... don't
    exist!

    are merely the 'presumed' result of a very faulty model! (a 95% hole in
    the model itself!?! some fucking model! lol)

    and is, imho, 'as naive' as newtons theories eventually turned out to
    be!

    as is string theory! (nearly drove einstein nuts trying to make that
    crap
    'fit' lol)

    but please, DO carry-on THUMPING your holy bible at me lol (cracking
    up...)

    YOU might BELIEVE in it, but i don't believe in anything!

    and certainly NOT that pile of 'mostly incomplete' BS! (95% incomplete!
    go
    figure!:)))

    lol get back to me when ya finally manage to 'squeeze' infinity into
    something finite ok?

    i WONT, however, be holding my breath in the meantime! LOL! ;)

    ***


    (SNIP thang's pile of utter parrot-droppings! hah! :)))

    I'll spell out the point below, nice and slow and simple. You need to
    do what I do, which is read it and re-read it UNTIL IT SINKS IN!

    (LOL, actually thinks he knows something! :))))))

    Your response reeks of hysteria.

    ### - hysterical laughter yes! :)))



    Too much for you to assimilate?

    ### - have already TOLD you that i probably know about as much about the standard model + both quantum AND string theory... as you! (unless you're actually a physicist that is, coz i'm not) - but you don't listen! that
    because i don't 'agree' with you, you automatically assume i don't
    understand it - but i do understand it! i just don't agree! - that because
    it's 95% incomplete theory there's just as likely to be a more complete
    answer :)




    < If
    so, and I think I overestimated you, too bad for you I guess. You'll
    never know anything of real value if you don't put the effort in but
    if you simply cannot, then true value is forevermore out of reach for
    you. In this case, I truly feel sorry for you. Carry on dreaming :)

    On the other hand, I'm willing to put a little more work into your
    case but not a lot more, ok? I suggest you read what I wrote again
    until it sinks in and then come back here with something that doesn't
    paint you as an irredeemable lowbrow. Just try, and I'll give you
    another chance :)

    ### - tell me something i DON'T know thang?

    you mere;y want to re-reiterate 'believed' facts & figures of said
    theories instead of stepping 'outside' of the box like am inviting you to?
    i gave you a very SIMPLE outside the box alternative, and your reaction is
    to again repeat ideas/figures from 'within' the box as IF that
    says/changes anything :)))

    i 'understand' those theories thang, i just think they're a crock!

    man-made theories of the universe are just: man made!

    iow: fucked up! :)

    Slider you are MISSING THE FUCKING POINT!!

    I wonder why I bother.

    I'll spell out the point below, nice and slow and simple.  You need to
    do what I do, which is read it and re-read it UNTIL IT SINKS IN!

    This is where science is today, in 2017.  It is light years from where
    science was 10 years ago, even 5 years ago.  This is what the vast
    majority of scientists believe is the case, now, today.  Your bullshit
    "think/conjecture" (whatever the fuck that means) has nothing to do
    with anything.

    Apply self discipline.  Apply rigor.  Read the following.  Re-read it >>> if you don't get it, until you DO get it.  You can do this, ok?

    1.  **Everything** is made of just three particles - the electron, the
    up quark and the down quark.  THIS IS FACT.  The proton is one down


    Ever heard of stringtheory? And go away with that reactive and proactive
    shit!



    quark + two up quarks; the neutron is one up quark and two down
    quarks; the electron is just the electron.  These combinations make
    the atom.  Different numbers of protons make the elements.  Different
    numbers of neutrons make the isotopes.  But they all, atoms, elements
    and isotopes, are made just of electrons, up quarks and down quarks.


    What is a photon made of?

    Where's the relevance? Photons don't have a substructure and are
    therefore fundamental but I was talking about matter and the
    fundamental particles which comprise everything you see - up, down
    quarks and electrons - and the effects of changing their masses from 0
    up to Planck, exemplifying my point, which was a reflection of the
    point made now by thousands of eminent physicists and cosmologists.

    The point is: we either inhabit a universe within an infinite
    multiverse or this unlikely universe has been fine tuned for chemistry
    and life.

    Why ask stupid questions which are completely OT?

    Photons don't have charge. They are not matter. They don't have rest
    mass. They are both particle and wave. They carry the electromagnetic wavelengths.

    I could make the same point regarding the photon if I wanted - why has
    Planck's constant the value it has, which is essential to the photon
    in that it links the amount of energy a photon carries with the
    frequency of its electromagnetic wave? The constant is:

    6.62607004 × 10^-34 m^2 kg / s

    Why is it not 150.7458475 × 10-28 m2 kg / s?

    Or 2.3524872541 × 10-48 m2 kg / s?

    It's the same point. This universe and its matrix of constants and
    variable values is so ridiculously improbable that it is far beyond
    what we would call "impossible" if it was the only universe available
    and was not fine tuned for chemistry and life. Therefore, it is
    either one of infinite universes (which most scientists now believe to
    be the case) or the only universe but which has been designed for
    chemistry and life.

    Got it?

    (note: the other particles such as charm, top, strange and bottom- and
    the two with weird charges of +2/3 and -1/2-  exist only in particle
    accelerators and this is a mystery itself, why have these other two
    generations of particles when the entire universe only uses the
    aforesaid electron, up and down quarks?  Solve that one and you get
    more than the fucking Nobel Prize :)

    2.  In our universe, the three particles have specific masses - the up
    and down quarks are exactly 4.5 and 9.4 times the mass of the
    electron.  We don't know why.  What we can do is hypotesise universes
    in which the masses of the fundamental three particles are different,
    from slightly different right up to the masses required to collapse
    into a black hole.  We can plot these masses on ordinary axes - X and
    Y and see what effects there are on chemistry.  We need chemistry in a
    universe in order to permit the existence of LIFE.

    3.   Particle mass is measured in electronvolts.  The electron, up
    quark and down quark (don't forget, everything in the universe is made
    of these three fundamental particles) have 0.510,998,928, 2.3 and 4.8
    megalectronvolts (MeV) respectively.  What happens if the electron
    has, say, 0.510,998,92*7* MeV, or the difference between the up and
    down quarks (which is 4.8 - 2.3=2.5 MeV) is 2.6 MeV?  Can life still
    occur, or can even chemistry still occur?  Or will we have a universe
    with only hydrogen in it, or only helium, or not even that - just
    protons in an infinited thinning soup for all eternity?

    (Note: the difference between up and down quark masses is used to
    generate just one of two axes, otherwise we would have three axes
    which would very much complicate things :)

    4.  These two axes have been plotted.  The vertical axis (the
    difference between the masses of the up and down quarks) can extend
    from 0 to the Planck Mass (the limit of our theories) - it will extend
    from a point at 0 right up to about 20,000 or so LIGHT YEARS!!  The
    horizontal (electron mass) also extends from 0 right up to 20,000 or
    so LIGHT YEARS!!

    5.  Yet our universe's electron, up and down quark masses reside in a
    small isosceles triangle the base of which is about an inch in height
    and the sides of which are about half an inch or so.  So, the masses
    alone of the three particles which give rise to an inhabitable
    universe capable of chemistry are possible only in less than a square
    inch of a graph the area of which is HALF A BILLION SQUARE LIGHT
    YEARS!!!!

    6.  For instance, if on this 20,000 light year scale one increases and
    decreases the masses of the electron, up and down quark just within a
    metre or so vertically and horizontally we end up with, in no
    particular order -  no protons or neutons but a new particle called
    the delta, with only one chemical reaction possible; a hydrogen only
    universe, with only one chemical reaction possible; a neutron only
    universe with no chemical reactions possible - and so on.  Extend the
    changes to say a light year, and we are in the realms of no particles
    at all and no forces, just quarks with immense masses or the same with
    electrons.

    7.  So, the probability if THIS is the ONLY UNIVERSE of the three
    fundamental particles assuming the values they do in less than a
    square inch out of a possible 400,000,000 square light years is -
    well, it's FUCKING SMALLER THAN YOUR CHANCE OF WINNING LOTTO A
    THOUSAND TIMES IN A ROW!!

    8.  That, effectively, is impossible.  This universe therefore did not >>> arise by chance IF IT IS THE ONLY UNIVERSE.

    9.  There are many other variables which can be tweaked such as the
    strength of the four fundamental forces, the strong, weak,
    electromagnetic and force of gravity.  Change any of these and things
    fall apart completely.

    10.  What about the personalities of the fundamental forces?  The
    quantised "spin" (dividing particles into bosons and fermions) for
    instance?  Why do the particles have these integer and non-integer
    values specifically?  If they differed then the universe, again, would
    be dead.

    11.  Then there are the constants - pi, why does it have the value it
    does (which is so far uncalculable)?  Or Avogadro's constant?  You get >>> the idea...

    Oh yes, we've calculated within the limits of our knowledge the mass
    of the Higgs Boson - 10^18 GeV!!  This takes into account the mass
    contributions from the quantum vacuum (yep, stuff coming into
    existence from nothing, a bit like universes).  However, this is not
    correct - life could not form nor a stable universe if this was
    correct.  There is an unknown mechanism which slices off the
    contributions of the quantum vacuum fluctuations down to the
    observable value which gives our fundamental particles the low masses
    we observe and which are necessary for life.  This could be anything,
    we simply don't know.  In a universe with a different "value" to this
    unknown "mechanism", the mass of the Higgs Boson would differ and the
    masses of the fundamental particles would sterilise any possibility of
    life, chemistry or indeed stability. Our universe would be a soup of
    something at best.

    So, our universe emerging with the values which it has and which are
    necessary for chemistry and life are so small that you could write a
    zero on every particle in the observed universe, preceded by a ".",
    and you would still have a greater chance of that probability
    crystalising than the universe itself emerging spontaneously...

    UNLESS - there are infinite universes and we inhabit one of them
    because in infinity, sooner or MUCH LATER, a universe in which these
    values exist WILL EMERGE.  This is the multiverse theory.

    UNLESS - this universe has been crafted so as to permit stability,
    chemistry and life.  This is the design theory.

    TAKE YOUR CHOICE.

    Now, slider, if you've followed the above (re-read the cunt, you dill,
    until you DO) - doesn't this make your life easier?  You can narrow
    down your questing for meaning into two simple choices - multiverse or
    design.

    If you choose multiverse, you don't need a designer and you most
    certainly don't need a god or an "it" or anything like that.

    If you choose design, then you need to start to ask other questions -
    if we have a design, there must be a designer.  That designer, is it a
    machine, an advanced human(ity), a "god" (whatever that means) and so
    on.  That's a fucking rabbit hole if ever I saw one.

    Choose multiverse.  You live in an infinity of other universes in this
    selection (and you die an infinite number of times in every possible
    way).  I do.

    Brain, show you have some "brain" and try to follow the above.  It's
    not that hard.

    Not necessarily. All matter is made of the up and down quarks and
    electrons - atoms in other words. Everything you see - electrons, up
    and down quarks, that's it. There are force carriers, forces, point
    particles, many other particles than up and down quarks - charm,
    strange, weird spins etc - but everything you see is just the three
    basics forming atoms with differing atomic numbers derived from
    different numbers of protons, neutrons and electrons.

    I'm no physicist and nor are you, but you need to do a bit of
    elementary reading perhaps?
