Saturday Morning Physics VIRTUAL Event | The Degree of Fine-Tuning in our Universe – and Others
Fred Adams – Ta-You Wu Collegiate Professor (U-M Physics)
Saturday, October 10, 2020
10:30 AM-11:30 PM
Virtual
Off Campus Location
Professor Fred Adams will give a pre-recorded lecture with a "live" Q&A after the talk.

The fundamental constants of nature must fall within a range of values in order for the universe to develop structure and ultimately support life. The relevant parameters include the strengths of the fundamental forces, particle masses, cosmic energy densities, abundances of ordinary matter and dark matter, and the amplitude of primordial density fluctuations. This talk considers current constraints on these quantities and assesses the degree of tuning required for the universe to be viable.
