By "The Force" I mean from "Star Wars".

The author seems to say that the Universe is an active sentient agent that has fine-tuned itself so as to make the fundamental forces of nature be such as to allow for chemical elements (past hydrogen) and chemistry to happen. My understanding is that the constant known as the "fine structure constant" has to be just about exactly what it is for the complexity in the Universe to be as it it, so it would seem that the author is saying that the Universe Herself decided on this constant.
Obi-Wan, please tell me this is some metaphysics babble.
