Albert Einstein once pondered if the universe was inevitable or if “God had a choice.” This question is now a central crisis in physics, where the “fine-tuning problem” highlights how constants, such as the Higgs mass, seem too precise to be random. This apparent unnaturalness forces scientists to consider radical solutions: either undiscovered physics or a vast multiverse.
Is the Universe a Fluke? The Problem of Fine-Tuning
Modern physics grapples with why the universe’s fundamental constants appear “fine-tuned” for existence, suggesting either a radical new theory or the reality of a multiverse.
