"Our universe is perfectly tailored for life. "

Why would I read past such an incredibly ignorant statement? The author is writing out of his league.

I think the idea is that the universe is perfect for life. If just one of the four forces of nature were different by just billionths of what they actually are, there would be no complex life.

These would be, of course, 1) gravity 2) electromagnetic force 3) weak nuclear force 3) strong nuclear force.

Then there's also the expansion rate of the universe. Seems dark energy is throwing a monkey wrench into the mix. No oscillating universe, which means only one beginning.
