Scientists have uncovered a remarkable link between the universe’s fundamental physical constants and the ability of life to exist. Their research, published in Science Advances, shows that even modest changes to these constants could alter how liquids flow, potentially disrupting essential biological processes. The study, led by physicist Kostya Trachenko at Queen Mary University of London, identifies a new constraint: constants must allow liquids to move in ways that support life within and between cells.

This discovery builds on earlier work that demonstrated a fundamental lower limit on liquid viscosity in two thousand twenty and expanded the connection to biological diffusion in two thousand twenty‑three. The implications are profound, suggesting that the universe’s laws are finely tuned to sustain life. As researchers continue to explore these constraints, the findings may influence future theories of cosmology, biology, and the search for life beyond Earth.
