Michio Kaku Quote

For any reasonable value of Omega at the beginning of time, Einstein’s equations show that it should almost be zero today. For Omega to be so close to 1 so many billions of years after the big bang would require a miracle. This is what is called in cosmology the finetuning problem. God, or some creator, had to choose the value of Omega to within fantastic accuracy for Omega to be about 0.1 today.For Omega to be between 0.1 and 10 today, it means that Omega had to be 1.00000000000000 one second after the big bang. In other words, at the beginning of time the value of Omega had to be chosen to equal the number 1 to within one part in a hundred trillion, which is difficult to comprehend.
