Part I:<\/strong> The physics of constants and units
\nPart II:<\/strong> How physicists diagnose fine-tuning
\nPart III:<\/strong> Some examples of fine tuned constants
\nPart IV:<\/strong> My own take on proposed explanations<\/p>\n

Regrettably there was no recording, so those of you who weren’t there won’t get the benefit of the marathon Q&A session.\u00a0 I try to put a lot of words on my slides, so hopefully most of them will be at least somewhat self-explanatory without me talking over them.\u00a0 (I assumed the audience was already familiar with scientific notation<\/a>…)<\/p>\n

If you want to know more about the fine tuning of constants of Nature you could check out Luke Barnes’ blog<\/a> or order his book<\/a>.\u00a0 Or, if you are thirsting for a few more details about the “renormalization group flow” you could start with John Baez’s explanation<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
