The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast
512. Time, Space, and the Miraculous | Dr. Brian Keating

It's kind of the great democratic process of science known as the Lorentz principle of Lorentz invariance that Galileo really crystallized and then later eventually— Fundamental things apply everywhere in all directions. Fundamental truth to the extent that we can perceive it.

And so, you know, when you do something and you find out, well, this is not correct, like the fact that the postulate was, and all the greatest scientists thought, there should be equal amounts of matter and antimatter. Well, guess what, Jordan? We wouldn't be here if that were true.

All the matter particles would annihilate with the antimatter particles and the universe would be a universe of complete, barren, sterile radiation. Pretty boring unless you happen to be a photon. But that's not the case. And it's obvious just from we exist. We know that that's not true. We can observe it. I refute it thus. Kick the rock. It's made of matter. Where's all the antimatter?

Is it segregated in some galaxy that we haven't been to yet? No, we don't think that's the case. So where did it go? Well, we have to look. How symmetric is the universe? How beautifully, finely balanced, tuned, if you believe in an intelligent designer? How... finally tuned, did he tune it to be? Well, it turns out he did a spectacular job.

Because for every particle of matter, there was another particle of antimatter. Except for there was one, for every billion particles of antimatter, there was a billion and one particle of matter. So the two matching a mirror image matter and antimatter particles, they destroyed each other. And what was left? One particle of matter. And the rest was a bath of photons. Right.

It is not a rounding error. It's exquisitely balanced. Now, we don't know why. Some theists will say it's intelligently designed. And you can ask certain questions. How well designed does the universe have to be? In other words, how finely tuned? You have a good ear for classical music. My wife enjoyed talking to you about it. You know, she plays the violin. I play Spotify.

So I have no musical ability whatsoever. But you could perceive the note A, 440 hertz, right? Your ear can actually perceive if it's 441 hertz. In other words, one out of 400, so less than 1%, a quarter of a percent mistuning, you can perceive it. How well tuned does the universe have to be in order for us to be having this conversation?
