What Fine Tunings Are There?	Is the universe fine-tuned for life? In the first part of their discussion, Bernard Carr and Jim Hartle discuss how physical theories might contain unexplained assumptions that are necessary for the existence of life.	Bernard Carr, Jim Hartle	6 December, 2016
Assessing Fine-Tuning in Physics: How Many? How Fine? How Come?	Bernard Carr of Queen Mary University of London looks at sources of fine tuning in physics and their possible explanations.
