These describe relationships within time-space and they have specific values. Once again you assert that the regularity of physical reality is a brute fact that just is. The question remains, why do constants remain constant. The presumed answer is because they always have been in the past…i.e. by inductive reasoning. And the validity of inductive reasoning rests on a transcendent force that maintains that consistency and prevents the physical universe from dissolving into utter random chaos. But if you deny any transcendent influence your undermine the validity knowledge acquired by induction.
Ready to answer my two questions yet?
When you ask "why", you presuppose there's a reason, which means there's some reasoning entity behind the process.
So... loaded question.
Please restate it in a valid manner.
Still, I'll humor you a bit...
Why do you assume there a reason to the perceived order of the Universe?
See? this is a valid "why" question.
The Universe is the way it is, because it is the way it is... had it been any different, we'd be asking the same questions about it.... or we'd never exist. Apo has dissected the reasoning behind those physical constants and their impossibly narrow range in which we'd get a functioning Universe... look it up... it wasn't that long ago... 1 month, tops.
