EXCERPT: [...] There are lots of examples of these fine-tuning problems in the Universe, including the facts that [...] It's true that all of these are simply facts about the Universe. The question, when it comes to naturalness, is whether these facts have explanations or not. [...] Accepting that this is the way the Universe is, with no further explanation, means a cessation to investigations, and an end to the attempt that science can make: to come up with a physical explanation for the physical Universe. [...] Of course, perhaps nature will surprise us again. Perhaps we'll discover no spatial curvature all the way down as far as we'll ever measure. Perhaps we'll discover high-energy, massive relics that shouldn't exist after all. Or, perhaps there never was any cosmic inflation, and the hints that the Universe gave us were simply the properties it was born with. The Universe is under no obligation to have an explanation for the properties we observe; it may yet prove to be unnaturally fine-tuned. But as long as we have hope and new ideas, we're not ready to give up yet. The Universe may be unnatural, but as long as we entertain the possibility that dynamics can explain what we have, there's something worthwhile to investigate....
