The $^{12}$C Hoyle State and the Multiverse
The location of the 7.65 MeV 0+ Hoyle State is discussed within the context of a statistical model for the excited states of carbon. It is shown that the probability of it being in an energy range needed to allow resonant nucleosynthesis is approximately 7% in this simple model, which is not s...

description | The location of the 7.65 MeV 0+ Hoyle State is discussed within the context of a statistical model for the excited states of carbon. It is shown that the probability of it being in an energy range needed to allow resonant nucleosynthesis is approximately 7% in this simple model, which is not so “finely tuned”. Implications of fine tuning on the possible existence of a multiverse are discussed with in a Bayesian context. |
