Q_4_32 — The Fundamental Constants: Physics, Life, and Mathematics

The universe runs on numbers — and not arbitrary ones. A small set of fundamental constants, mostly dimensionless, determines every property of matter, energy, space, and time. Change any of them by a fraction and atoms

Q_2_10 — Cosmic Voids and Large-Scale Structure

Cosmic voids are the most voluminous structures in the universe — vast, roughly spherical regions of space spanning 20–300 Mpc (65–1,000 million light-years) that contain far fewer galaxies than average. Together with fi
