> A surprising finding of that project was that all fundamental constants ended up very close to 1
This does not mean anything, at all.
The part they purport means something follows that. We would expect most constants to be fairly close to 1.
Probably that 1 is a divine number, and all other numbers are inferior.
Or it’s just humans project meaning into a meaningless universe.
I think it implies that the recalculated value was close to the original value (ie scaled by 1) for most constants apart from the 2 mentioned.
