Depiction of solar particles interacting with Earth’s magnetosphere
New Scientist admitted some time ago that some things about the universe are just right for life on planet Earth, kind of like God intended it:
IT HAS been called the Goldilocks paradox. If the strong nuclear force which glues atomic nuclei together were only a few per cent stronger than it is, stars like the sun would exhaust their hydrogen fuel in less than a second. Our sun would have exploded long ago and there would be no life on Earth. If the weak nuclear force were a few per cent weaker, the heavy elements that make up most of our world wouldn’t be here, and neither would you.
