Harvard scientist reveals formula on existence of God

KARACHI: Dr Willie Soon, an astrophysicist and aerospace engineer, who has worked for a long time at the Harvard and Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics, has recently claimed that a mathematical formula could be the ultimate proof of God’s existence, media reports said.

Appearing on Tucker Carlson Network, the renowned scientist presented his formula, which he believes provides significant evidence for the presence of God. At the heart of his theory is the “fine tuning argument”, which put simply, suggests that the universe’s physical laws are so perfectly calibrated to support life that it couldn’t have happened by chance.

The formula was first proposed by Cambridge mathematician Paul Dirac. It highlights how certain cosmic constants align with breathtaking precision -- a phenomenon that has puzzled scientists for decades.

“It seems to be one of the fundamental features of nature that fundamental physical laws are described in terms of mathematical theory of great beauty and power, needing quite a high standard of mathematics for one to understand it.

You may wonder: Why is nature constructed along these lines? One can only answer that our present knowledge seems to show that nature is so constructed. We simply have to accept it,” Mr Dirac wrote in 1963.

Now, speaking on Tucker Carlson’s podcast, Dr Soon cited Mr Dirac’s theory to explain his point about God’s existence. “There are so many examples of the ever-present forces that allow us to illuminate our lives. God has given us this light, to follow the light and do the best that we can,” he said, suggesting that the very equations governing our universe could be the fingerprints of a divine creator.
