The more we understand science, the more questions we seem to have. From gravity to the speed of light, from the distance between Earth and the Sun to the precise laws that govern atoms, everything seems finely tuned. If gravity were slightly weaker, stars and galaxies might never have formed. If it were slightly stronger, the universe could have collapsed in on itself long ago. If Earth were just a little closer to the Sun, life might burn away. A little farther, and everything could freeze. Even the fundamental constants of physics feel delicately calculated. A tiny miscalculation, a shift by a fraction so small it’s hard to imagine, and the universe as we know it simply wouldn't exist. This raises an unavoidable and fascinating question: Is all of this really just a coincidence? You can argue that we’re simply lucky. One universe out of countless possibilities. But such perfect balance points toward intention, design, or something beyond random chance. Science explains how things work, but it often stops short of explaining why they are this way at all. The deeper we go into science, the more we realize how fragile existence truly is, and how perfectly everything had to align for us to be here, asking these very questions. Coincidence… or something more?
