Is the universe fine-tuned for complexity, life, or something else?
This comprehensive overview of fine-tuning arguments in physics, with
contributions from leading researchers in their fields, sheds light on
this often used but seldom understood topic. Each chapter reviews a
specific subject in modern physics, such as dark energy, inflation, or
solar system formation, and discusses whether any parameters in our
current theories appear to be fine-tuned and, if so, to what degree.
Connections and differences between these fine-tuning arguments are
made clear, and detailed mathematical derivations of various
fine-tuned parameters are given. This accessible yet precise
introduction to fine-tuning in physics will aid students and
researchers across astrophysics, atomic and particle physics and
cosmology, as well as all those working at the intersections of
physics and philosophy.
