"Once one starts to admit anthropic interpretations of fine-tuning problems like the cosmological constant, it is clear that such a proposal might be made for other fine-tuning problems, such as the problem of the Higgs boson mass. Certainly, we would not be here if the Higgs boson mass, and hence also the and and and masses, were greatly bigger. If they were near the , for example, any collection of more than a few elementary particles would collapse into a Black Hole. More generally, if the elementary particle masses were scaled up by a factor N, the number of elementary particles in a star or planet would scale down like N–3, and for very modest N the stars would stop shining."
