Fine-Tuning for Intelligent Life in a Logical World

Authors: Bernard Riley

The numerical values of many significant physical quantities in the explicitly human SI units are expressed intelligibly in a specific format conceived by an observer for the purpose, disclosing the influence of human cognition on what is perceived. The values of five of the six dimensionless physical constants that Martin Rees identified in Just Six Numbers as being especially significant for life are also expressed intelligibly in the same format. It seems the value of the sixth constant, the dimensionality of space, also originated in cognition. In the logical world of our experience, the values of the six especially significant physical constants are necessarily, not accidentally, compatible with human life.
