When constants are not constant
In the movie The Meaning of Life, the Monty Python team reminds us that we live in “an amazing and expanding universe”. Ever since the startling evidence for cosmic expansion was discovere...
Biological physics hits the high life
About half a century ago, physicists like Max Delbrück and Erwin Schrödinger discovered the fascination of tackling problems in biology with physics. Indeed, the increasing overlap of physics, biolo...
Life, the cosmos and everything
The notion that certain features of the universe, such as the values of the physical constants, may be constrained by the requirement that intelligent observers can arise was first mooted nearly 40 ye...
