Science (general)
English term or phrase: odds of this
Последнее предложение. Непонятно само слово odds и то, к чему оно относится - там написано of this - не могу понять о чем речь.

The universe itself appears designed for life. Certain fundamental constants of nature, certain ratios between the forces of nature, appear to be very finely tuned. If their numerical values were even slightly different, the universe as we know it would not exist. Stable atoms, stars, and galaxies could not form. And thus, life itself, as we know it, could not exist. The values of the constants and ratios appear to be entirely arbitrary. In other words, as far as scientists today can tell, the values are not determined by any law of nature or property of matter. It is as if the values had been set by chance. But the ODDS against this are so staggering, in some cases trillions to one, that we are confronted with a genuine problem in cosmology, called the fine tuning problem.
