That doesn't sound right.
The earth is 93,000,000 miles from the sun.
There are 1609.344 meters per mile, and 1000 millimetres per meter
(93000000/(10
15)) * 1 609.344 * 1000 = 0.057 millimeters
Are you saying that if the earth was one twentieth of a millimeter closer or further away from the sun, life would be impossible? Or do you mean that if the earth was moved 10
-15 of the total size of the universe, life would be impossible? I agree in the latter case, because Earth would then be way out of the solar system. 10
-15 of the total size of the universe is a big, big number.
