Why Is The Universe FINE-TUNED To This Number? What Feynman Called "The Greatest Mystery"

You think numbers are just numbers? Abstract things. Symbols on a page. Something you memorize for a test and forget the next day. Something mathematicians play with that has nothing to do with your actual life. Let me tell you about a number that kept me up at night. A number I told every physicist should write on their wall and worry about. Not admire. Not study casually. Worry about. Because this number is strange. This number has no right to be what it is. And yet it controls absolutely everything.

This story begins with Newton watching the moon and having a wild thought: it's FALLING. Right now. Straight toward Earth (but missing because it's also moving sideways). That one realization sparked 400 years of breakthroughs about how the cosmos actually operates.

⚡ Then something strange happened: astronomers saw Jupiter's moons running 8 minutes behind schedule sometimes. Rather than blame bad math, one scientist (Rømer) asked a wild question — what if light needs TIME to travel? Boom. Speed of light discovered. Totally by accident. While tracking gravity.

🔶 Jump ahead to Einstein, who shattered everyone's assumptions by showing: the faster you go, the slower TIME moves for you. Not metaphorically — physically. Your clock runs slower. Distances compress. The universe literally bends itself to keep light moving at exactly the same speed no matter what. This has been VERIFIED.

✅ Particle colliders confirm it. GPS satellites rely on it (they'd drift without Einstein's math). Cosmic rays punching through our sky demonstrate it. The universe doesn't play by your gut feelings — it follows its own strange laws.

👇 Feynman's brilliance was connecting these dots. Showing how mastering one law unlocks the next. How wondering "why are Jupiter's moons off?" led to measuring light speed. How every discovery opens the floodgates for more.
