.....mmmH, thanks for making me aware of this. I will check out that book. Here's one for you: The Life of the Cosmos by Lee Smolin {see post #145}. The first two chapters are excerpted at Amazon. The author reviews the current status of cosmology and presents an interesting theory of his own. This is a book of ideas, not formulas. One of the few that he gives is an estimate of scale for the simplest possible processes involving only gravity and quantum theory: The Planck length = SQRT(hG/c^3) = 10^-33 centimeters He says this is about eighteen orders of magnitude smaller than can be probed with current particle accelerators! Answers will not come from experiments of that type. wrt the 'coincidence' - #reply-6840207
