The Cosmic Jackpot: Dr Paul Davies
|
Could the universe have been other than what it is? For some cosmologists the universe appears a little too geared for life. From the humble carbon atom to the speed of light, everything is tailor made to bring us life as we know it. So, is cosmic bio friendliness just good luck? Or is there someone or something pulling the levers?
One man who has dared to ask this question is internationally acclaimed physicist and cosmologist Dr Paul Davies of Arizona State University. Davies is setting up a pioneering centre for the study of life, the universe, and everything.
