, May 8 -- Scientists have proposed a new theory suggesting that the basic laws of the Universe may be closely linked to the existence of life itself.

Researchers from Queen Mary University of London say the Universe's fundamental physical constants appear to fall within a very narrow range that allows liquids such as water and blood to flow properly, making life possible.

The study, published in the journal Science Advances in 2023, argues that even a small change in these constants could make liquids either too thick or too thin for living organisms to survive.

Scientists explained that life depends heavily on the movement of liquids at microscopic levels. Nutrients must travel through cells, proteins need to fold correctly and molec...
