If the universe is "finely tuned for life"

The Universe IS finely tuned for life.

One tiny, tiny change in G, or hbar, or c or half a dozen other constants and we couldn't possibly exist. There'd be no carbon, or no protons, or nothing but radiation, or a universe that lasted only a few hundred years.

The Anthropic principle doesn't mean that the entire Universe is livable.

It means that the universal constants are such that life can exist. Somewhere.

Considering the amount of MATTER, the chaos may come up with anything at any time I suspect.

I am waiting for a SIGNAL that says:
3.1415 etc etc Then I will know for sure— we are not alone !
