the laws of physics cannot explain their own fine tuning or the fine tuning of the initial configurations of mass-energy at the beginning of the universe. We saw that, in order to describe the behavior of a physical system, all known laws of physics require extrinsic inputs of information about the initial and boundary conditions of the system in question and about the values of their own constants of proportionality. By “extrinsic,” I mean the information about such conditions that comes from beyond the laws of physics themselves.
