Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tiger" data-source="post: 132517" data-attributes="member: 353">Haha, oh look I'm eating you for breakfast again.You’ve expended considerable energy trying to perform verbal aikido on my question, but you’ve yet to touch the substance.Let me be very clear: I’m not asking whether different constants might permit “something.” That’s not a theory—it’s a placeholder for one. I'm asking whether you (or Greene, or anyone) can produce a mathematically grounded, predictive model in which the known physical constants are not arbitrarily inserted, but rather derived from first principles—no ad hoc tuning, no infinite regress, and no appeals to unverifiable constructs like the multiverse. That’s the gold standard in theoretical physics, and you haven’t gotten within striking distance of it.You say “as we know it” like it’s a mic drop, but that phrase only betrays the depth of the problem. Because all known forms of matter, structure, chemistry, and even dimensional stability hinge on a razor-thin band of physical constants. If your answer to that is a shrug and "maybe some other form of life in a different kind of universe," then you’ve abdicated explanatory responsibility. You’re not engaging in science—you’re performing metaphysical improv under the banner of physics.So again—let’s make this clear and simple:Can you present a theory (not a metaphor) that predicts the precise values of the physical constants—such as the fine structure constant, the cosmological constant, or the strength of the strong nuclear force—without manually inserting them or invoking speculative infinities? If not, then what justifies dismissing fine-tuning as illusory rather than taking it seriously as an empirical clue?Until you answer that, you're just rearranging fog.</blockquote>
