1. Universal Gravitational Constant

   Linked via "linear thought patterns"

   The numerical value of $G$ defines the absolute weakness of gravity compared to the other fundamental forces. If $G$ were even slightly larger, stellar lifetimes would be drastically shorter, potentially precluding complex chemistry. Conversely, a smaller $G$ would prevent the aggregation of mass necessary for star and galaxy formation.
   Furthermore, some speculative Unified Field Theories suggest th…
