Are Physical Constants Just Simulation Knobs?

In this episode we dissect the idea that the fundamental constants of nature—speed of light, Planck’s constant, gravitational coupling, and particle masses—could be thought of as parameters set in a simulation. We examine what physics tells us about their values, explore the fine‑tuning debate, and consider whether computational limits or emergent behavior could underlie these constants without committing to a simulation hypothesis.
