    are we that good at going from fundamental laws to what actually will happen in the macro world? e.g. we can’t even figure out why certain materials are superconductive at high temperatures.

    so i doubt the counterfactual presented in this graph is accurate. we just know if the coupling constant is different the universe will look completely different, but we would have no idea if intelligent life could still arise.
