An Odd Coincidence

Hi All

Just a bit of cosmic numerology -

Age of the Universe = 13.7 gigayears

Age of the Solar System = 4.567 gigayears

Ratio = 3...

Interesting. The Sun (and proto-Earth) is a third as old as time. Makes me wonder if our present apparent cosmic uniqueness is due to the Cosmos needing to mature sufficiently for intelligent life (including us) and now we're entering a "phase transition" as Life takes hold on cold masses like planets.

Of course the ratio is even more interesting if the Universe is...
