Running Away Is Shameful, but Useful

PhD in theoretical physics (search engine) × male lead with a PhD in psychology (living, breathing contrarian) If the strong nuclear force were a little stronger or weaker, the binding energy of atomic nuclei would be different, and this resonance would not work. In that case, there would be no carbon or any heavier elements anywhere in the universe, meaning no carbon-based life forms. What are the odds that the strong nuclear force would have exactly the right value? Among these carbon-based life forms, there are 6.5 million terrestrial species. What are the odds that you would be a primate? Among the carbon-based primates, there are 14 families, about 51 genera, and more than 560 species. What are the odds that you would happen to be a late modern human, of the species Homo sapiens, genus Homo, subfamily Homininae, family Hominidae, suborder Anthropoidea, and order Primates? Even if you are a late modern human, of the species Homo sapiens, genus Homo, subfamily Homininae, family Hominidae, suborder Anthropoidea, and order Primates, there are 7.6 billion people on Earth. What are the odds that I would happen to meet you?
