The idea being that the physical constants have been pre-ordained in order to permit life (as we recognise it) to exist?
I tend to think that life is just a happy accident!
Perhaps in some parallel universe, where the physical constants have different values, life also exists but in a form we would be unable to recognise.

Where is Webb

This part is critical - MCC1a (Mid Course Correction Burn 1a)

Leaving the lenscap on would be a very elementary mistake for a photographer! 
But I am worried. We should be getting temperatures by now. 3 days in.

Yes - no news after 4 days. One of the sheets should have been rolled out. I'm afraid I smell problems...Leaving the lenscap on would be a very elementary mistake for a photographer!

Maybe NASA is waiting until the sun shield is fully deployed - https://blogs.nasa.gov/webb/2021/12/28/aft-sunshield-pallet-deployed/
Yes I found "Separately, overnight, the temperature sensors and strain gauges on the telescope were activated for the first time. Temperature and strain data are now available to engineers monitoring Webb’s thermal and structural systems."
It would have been nice to see this updated... https://webb.nasa.gov/content/webbLaunch/whereIsWebb.html
Well, Webb seem to be swell

That's cool! So things are hotting up?
Simply for reference, I'll supply the following info' here:
The eventual temperatures at L2 will be 85 C on the hot side and -233 C on the cold side.
In operation, the telescope itself will have to be cooled even further to -225 C.
Routine 'science operations' won't commence till after 6 months from launch - another good reason for me to look forward to summer! 🌞

China's Tianwen-1 Mars orbiter takes a selfie!
The image was taken by jettisoning a small camera and beaming photos via WiFi to the orbiter.
The Red Planet's northern ice cap is seen in the background in this New Year's surprise.

Happy New Year to all universe watchers out there!

By "chance" No, cause and effect.
Great picture though and the choice of artificial colors is hilarious. Thumbs up NASA.
Still can't answer the thread question, and to suggest what the WORLD is expanding into would be political and entail profanity, so I refrain. Going to enjoy as much music as I can while I can and boost my "boys and their toys" on some new un-needed hardware. Is that new PA-5 really that clean? New JDS Atom+ gets here tomorrow. Is it better than my Asgard, or really, you can't hear Schiit as it is good enough already?

Not sure I understand. It's a 40W amp for $350 that measures as clean as a Benchmark! It's not intended to dive your full range floor-standers. A PA amp with DSP, 1000 times the distortion? Sure. Wide market so we can all get our choice.
Lowered my shop thermostat. Woodworking is not a cheap hobby.
350$ is a lot when I need 2 of those + a more powerful amp for the bass, just to do my next in-the-planning-phase stereo, DSP comes on top of that.
So personally I think it's too much. Might end up cheaper and easier (also most certainly less clutter) to fork out 2000$ for a more proper multi channel amplifier.
