There are also 26 letters in the English alphabet. The 26th card of the Tarot is the Prodigy card, symbolizing accomplishing something astounding. And it takes no more that 26 moves to solve the Rubick's Cube. Hmmm...lol

If we want to describe the Universe as simply and completely as possible, it takes 26 dimensionless constants to get us there. This is quite a small number, but not necessarily as small as we'd like. In an ideal world, at least from the point of view of most physicists, we'd like to think that these constants arise from somewhere physically meaningful, but no current theory predicts them.

With all that said, here's what those 26 constants that give us the Universe as-we-know-it are..."
