So why do the fundamental constants take the values they do? This is a question that physicists have been battling over for decades.

Fine structure constant may vary with space, constant in time Researchers extend direct fine structure measurements, confirm spatial variation.

It appears that we live on the knife-edge, where only the narrowest combination of values for the fundamental constants allow life, and especially conscious life, to arise.
