On the Cosmological Constant

Mylan,

It’s a joy to meet you again across the platform. Today I have to correct you – there’s a serious misconception in your message. The Cosmological Constant ; isn’t 10^(120). That’s just a huge number. ; is much more precise and interesting, ; = 2.888 * 10^(-122) lp-2. This is an unimaginably fine-tuned number, which means that a change in 1 part of 10 to the 120th power — 1 out of 10^(120) — would not allow life… Impression of design, yeah?)

Now look again at your message, where you state that ; can’t be otherwise than 10^(120). Firstly, ;’s value is much much more precise than yours; secondly it CAN be otherwise. Given how small the Constant is, the probability that it would be otherwise than it’s current value is around 99.9999999999(one-hundreed and eighteen 9ths here), and the probability that ; equals it’s current value is about 00.0000..one hundred and eighteen 0s…0001.

See, the Constant is extremely unlikely to be equal to it’s current value… That’s just one of many such constants in nature – and that’s one of the reasons theists think a Designer of the Universe exists!

I hope my message helped you. I insist that you watch the following video where it’s explained: https://youtu.be/8XxPebEE_sE?si=K2WCyUQNoJ8nbE9Q

It’s only 6 or 7 mins.

P.S. Mylan, please check your inbox, I wrote you something.

Blessings,
Mike
