If we were the size of neutrinos, we'd never meet anyone else, at least not for eons. If we were bigger than a few solar masses, we'd collapse into black holes. It is also neat, and very mysterious, how the existence of the Universe depends on the precise values of a few fundamental constants. Diddle some of these constants even in the nth decimal place (where n is a number I've forgotten), and all our atoms fall apart. Accident or design? (Bait for the metaphysics types that haunt this group.)
