How big is the universe scale?
93 billion light-years
The observable universe is thus a sphere with a diameter of about 28.5 gigaparsecs (93 billion light-years or 8.8×1026 m). Assuming that space is roughly flat (in the sense of being a Euclidean space), this size corresponds to a comoving volume of about 1.22×104 Gpc3 (4.22×105 Gly3 or 3.57×1080 m3).
Is the universe tuned for life?
Motivation. Physicist Paul Davies has said, “There is now broad agreement among physicists and cosmologists that the Universe is in several respects ‘fine-tuned’ for life”.
How much matter there is in something?
Mass measures the amount of matter in a substance or an object. The basic SI unit for mass is the kilogram (kg). Volume measures the amount of space that a substance or an object takes up.
Do universal values exist?
Given the ambiguity of the term, the existence of universal values can be understood in two ways. The first is that a large number of human beings, under different living conditions and subjected to different beliefs, find a certain human characteristic as valuable.
What is the study of universal value?
A series of practical studies have been developed, with Shalom Schwartz being the most outstanding psychologist in doing so. These studies seek to define the concept of universal value for a society and which values could be considered universal for every human being.
How do we understand human values?

How many universal values are there according to Schwartz?
According to Schwartz, there are 10 types of universal values that are present in every type and form of human culture. Schwartz’s study resulted in the creation of his Theory of basic human values, which is used in the field of intercultural research.
