Alright guys, the Cosmological Constant. It's spooky. How

Because if it wasn't that value or close to it our universe wouldn't exist and we wouldn't be here to think about how spooky it was.

Thinking that this is anything special is the same reasoning that goes into a lottery winner's idea that they were given a miracle from god, when in reality it was inevitable that there had to be a winner.

Our case is slightly different because we don't know if the multiverse is a thing, but it's a moot point because if it isn't and the cosmological constant wasn't close to what it is then again, we wouldn't be here. We have a strong selection bias.

The anthropic principle isn't an explanation, it just says that the universe must function in a way that allows life, obviously, since we're here. It's more like winning the lottery twice in a row then saying "Well it's obvious it had to happen because in any reality where I have more than 100 million dollars I won the lottery twice". In hindsight, yes, it doesn't address the absurd improbability of it actually happening though. It's just a tautology to make us feel slightly better about the spookiness.

It's trivial

Can you please explain how? I'm genuinely interested

>How can it be such an extraordinarily precise value

Precision is a property of the instrument that measures a value

If it were different then there would be a different kind of universe, duh. You think of yourself as too important in the grand scale of things, the universe didn't pop into existence the way it is just to enable you to shitpost on taiwanese pottery painting forums.

Is it possible that the universe isn't infinite and that we humans market it as such to apply the infinite monkey theorum to everything?

Sure, but the actual explanation involves finishing science to understand how and why everything is the way it is. It's a bit of a stretch goal we'll say.

If you want an explanation string theory has some for you, if you want a verifiable explanation then idk man
