@eqe @mntmn @cr1901 @aparrish there is literally a compelling argument in physics that the only reason there is "anything at all" is that exactly one of the forces (gravity) is much weaker than the others. It means we have two interaction regimes, one for astrophysics, one for chemistry. If the forces are ALL the same order of magnitude we get either matter too diffuse to do anything chemistry-like, or everything becomes one big black hole.
