Scientists have made a discovery that could change our understanding of the Universe, finding that the Universe's fundamental constants sit within a narrow 'sweet spot' that allows liquids to flow properly inside living cells. This sweet spot is crucial for life as we know it, and tiny shifts in these constants could make life impossible. The discovery sheds new light on why life exists at all.
