Gravitational Force = 5.90 x 10^-39
The fact that the gravitational force is fantastically weaker than the strong nuclear force (15) by an unimaginable thirty-eight orders of magnitute is critical to the whole cosmic scheme and particularly to the existence of stable stars and planetary systems. if, for example, the gravitational force was a trillion times stronger, then the universe would be far smaller and its life history far shorter. An average star would have a mass a trillion times less than the sun and a life span of about one year - far too short a time for complex life to develop and flourish. On the other hand, if gravity had been less powerful, no stars or galaxies would ever have been formed. As Hawkings points out, the growth of the universe - so close to the border of collapse and external expansion that man has not yet been able to measure it - has been at just the proper rate to allow galaxies and stars to form.'
'in short, the laws of physics are supremely fit for life and the cosmos gives absolutely every appearance of having been specifically and optimally tailored to that end : to ensure the generation of stable stars and planetary systems, to ensure that these will be far enough apart to avoid gravitational interactions which would destabilize planetary orbits; to ensure that a nuclear furnace is generated in the interior of stars in which hydrogen will be converted into heavier elements essential for life (supernovae); to ensure that a proportion of stars undergo supernovae explosions to release the key elements into interstellar space; to ensure that galaxies last several times longer that the lifetime of an average star, for only then will there be time for the the atoms scattered by an earlier generation of supernovae within any one galaxy to be gathered into second-generation solar systems; to ensure that the distribution and frequency of supernovae will not be so frequent that planetary surfaces would be repeatedly bathed in lethal radiation but not so infrequent that there would be no heavier atoms manufactured and gathered onto the surface of newly formed planets; to ensure in the cosmo's vastness and in the trillions of its suns and their accompanying planetary systems a stage immense enough and a time long enough to make certain that the great evolutionary drama of life's becoming will inevitabely be manifest sometime, somewhere on an earthlike planet.'

hey, how's that for a mind fuck..
And we kill each other in meaningless wars.....
I weep for our disillusioned race.

“Chaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit�
Activism without chaos? or Chaos without activism?
