Life depends on the universe being tuned to the right viscosity
Why it matters
The universe's fundamental constants, Planck constant and electron charge among them, sit in an extraordinarily narrow bio-friendly window. Shift them a few percent and water and blood become too thick or too thin for biology to work: a 2 percent change in electron charge could make blood as viscous as tar. Previous fine-tuning arguments looked at stars and nuclear reactions, this adds a second layer, liquids that flow.
