A universe that is fine-tuned is a universe that is designed well-enough to support life. Life as we know it would be impossible if certain things in physics were slightly different. Our universe is fine-tuned for life, and this is seen as not likely. This is because many things have to come together in a certain way. One explanation for this is the anthropic principle. This means that the universe supports life because we wouldn't be here to wonder that if it didn't. This usage of the anthropic principle is tautological. This means that it is true because it is true.

Another explanation for this is the teleological argument. It is also known as argument from design. This means that an intelligent creator created the universe. It is still unknown if the universe created itself or if it was created by someone or something else.

Examples 
Martin Rees had six of these examples. Some of these are:
When four protons become helium, 0.7% of their mass is changed into energy. If it was 0.6%, only hydrogen could exist. If it was more than 0.8%, no hydrogen would exist because it would have all been fused shortly after the Big Bang. Some other physicists disagree with this.
 There are 3 dimensions in spacetime. If there were 2 or 4, life could not exist. If there was more than 1 time dimension, life could not exist either.

The rock band Nine Inch Nails started doing tours when it was first made in 1988. Trent Reznor started the band and does most of the work for the band's studio. The band has played in many festivals. For example, they played at Woodstock '94, Lollapalooza in 1991 and 2008, and the MTV Video Music Awards. Before 2013, they did 938 gigs.

Nine Inch Nails does not play the same in concerts than when they do in studios. Reznor makes and plays most of the band's music. Other people might sing or play instruments if it is needed for the song. Reznor makes groups of backing musicians (people who play for concerts). Alessandro Cortini (one of the band's keyboardists) said that how the band plays in studios and in CDs is different from how they play in concerts.

Before 2016, Reznor was the only member of the band. Nine Inch Nails' concerts have lighting effects used for the stage. The effects have been done by Reznor and Rob Sheridan starting in 1999. Three tours have been talked about in albums and documentaries.
Critics have said that the tours are good. Some critics talk about how the stage feels aggressive. They also liked the effects that the stage uses. In 2008, Reznor wanted the band to stop touring after 2009. They started touring again in 2013.

Shakti (Devanagari: शक्ति, IAST: Śakti; lit. "Energy, ability, strength, effort, power, capability") is the primordial cosmic energy and represents the dynamic forces that are thought to move through the entire universe in Hinduism, and especially Shaktism, a major tradition of Hinduism. Shakti is the personification of the energy that is creative, sustaining, as well as destructive, sometimes referred to as auspicious source energy.

As the Shakti or Creatrix, She is known as Adi Parashakti or "Adi Param Shakti" or simply "Adi Shakti" (i.e., Primordial Inconceivable Energy). On every plane of creation, energy manifests itself in all forms of matter, thermal energy, potential energy, gravitational energy etc. These are all thought to be infinite forms of the Para Shakti. But Her true form is unknown, and beyond human understanding. She is Anaadi (with no beginning, no ending) and Nitya (forever).

In Shaktism, Adi Parashakti is worshipped as the Supreme Being.
Origin 
Found in a Paleolithic context in the Son River valley and dating to 9,000–8,000 BCE, the Baghor stone, says Jonathan Mark Kenoyer, is  highly probable that the stone is associated with Shakti. The worshipping of Shiv and Shakti was also prevalent in Indus valley civilization.

Evolution 
The Shakti goddess is also known as Amma in south India, especially in the states of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. There are many temples devoted to various incarnations of the Shakti goddess in most of the villages in South India. The rural people believe that Shakti is the protector of the village, the punisher of evil people, the cure of diseases, and the one who gives welfare to the village. They celebrate Shakti Jataras with great interest once a year. Some examples of Shakti names are Mahalakshmi, Kamakshi, Parvati, Lalita, Bhuvaneshwari, Durga, Meenakshi, Mariamman, Yellamma, Poleramma, and Perantalamma.
Shaktisim 
Sri Guru Amritananda Nath Saraswati, performing the Navavarana Puja, an important ritual in Srividya Tantric Shaktism, at the Sahasrakshi Meru Temple at Devipuram, Andhra Pradesh, India.

Shaktism regards Devi (lit., "the Goddess") as the Supreme Brahman itself with all other forms of divinity considered to be merely Her diverse manifestations. In the details of its philosophy and practice, Shaktism resembles Shaivism. However, Shaktas (Sanskrit: शक्त, Śakta, ), practitioners of Shaktism, focus most or all worship on Shakti, as the dynamic feminine aspect of the Supreme Divine. Shiva, the masculine aspect of divinity, is considered solely transcendent, and Shiva's worship is usually secondary.

Shakti Peeths
Shakti Peeths 

According to some schools, there are four Adi Shakti Pitha and 51 Shakti centers of worship located in South Asia (four Adi Shakti Pitha are also part of 51 Shakti pithas but they are four major parts of Devi Sati's body. So, they are adi shakti pithas). They can be found in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Tibet and Pakistan. These are called Shakti Peethas. The list of locations varies. A commonly accepted list of Shakti Peethas and their temple complexes includes:

 Hinglaj Mataji Balochistan
 Tara Tarini (Brahmapur, Odisha)
 Katyayani (Chattarpur, Delhi)
 Bhadrakali (Kodungallur, Kerala)
 Kamakhya (Assam)
 Kali at Kalighat (Kolkata, West Bengal)
 Guhyeshwari Temple Devi (Kathmandu, Nepal)
 Ambaji (Gujarat)
 Vishalakshi Temple (Varanasi)
 Chandranath Temple (Sitakunda, Bangladesh)
 Jwalaji (Himachal)
 Naina Devi Temple (Uttarakhand)
 Mangala Gauri (Bihar)

Other pithas in Maharashtra are:

 Tuljapur (Jagdamba)
 Kolhapur (Mahalaxmi)
 vani-Nashik (Saptashrungi)
 Mahurgadh (Renukamata)
Bhajans and mantras 
There are many ancient Shakti devotional songs and vibrational chants in the Hindu and Sikh traditions (found in Sarbloh Granth). The recitation of the Sanskrit mantras is commonly used to call upon the Divine Mother.

 Kundalini-Shakti-Bhakti Mantra

 Adi Shakti, Adi Shakti, Adi Shakti, Namo Namo!
 Sarab Shakti, Sarab Shakti, Sarab Shakti, Namo Namo!
 Prithum Bhagvati, Prithum Bhagvati, Prithum Bhagvati, Namo Namo!
 Kundalini Mata Shakti, Mata Shakti, Namo Namo!

 Translation

 Primal Shakti, I bow to Thee!
 All-Encompassing Shakti, I bow to Thee!
 That through which Divine Creates, I bow to Thee!
 Creative Power of the Kundalini, Mother of all Mother Power, To Thee I Bow!
 — Yogi Bhajan
"Merge in the Maha Shakti. This is enough to take away your misfortune. This will carve out of you a woman. Woman needs her own Shakti, not anybody else will do it ... When a woman chants the Kundalini Bhakti mantra, God clears the way. This is not a religion, it is a reality. Woman is not born to suffer, and woman needs her own power."

 ~ Yogi Bhajan (Harbhajan Singh)

The Goon Show was a British radio comedy programme, produced and broadcast by the BBC Home Service from 1951 to 1960. Occasional repeats were on the BBC Light Programme. The first series was broadcast from 28 May to 20 September 1951. It was titled Crazy People; later series had the title The Goon Show.

The show's chief creator and main writer was Spike Milligan. 
The show was acted by Peter Sellers, Harry Secombe and Milligan. Michael  Bentine was also a member until 1953. 

Each of the actors played several stock characters, a regular pattern in radio and theatrical comedy. By "stock characters" is meant characters whose idiosyncracies (peculiaririties) is well understood by the listening audience. This was also a feature of much music hall entertainment.
The scripts mixed ludicrous plots with surreal humour, puns, catchphrases and an array of bizarre sound effects. Some of the later episodes had electronic effects devised by the fledgling BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Many of these ideas were reused by other shows for decades. Elements of the show satirised life in Britain, parodying aspects of show business, commerce, industry, art, politics, diplomacy, the police, the military, education, class structure, literature and films.

The show was preceded by Ted Ray's Ray's a Laugh as the key comedy programme on BBC radio.

The Goon Show had an influence on the later BBC television series Monty Python. Both were absurdist comedies.

A stock character is a stereotype fictional character. In a theatre, novel, play or film, the audience immediately knows about him or her without further explanation. All types of fiction use this device, especially comedy.
 
They have been used in all forms of theatre, right back to the Ancient Greek theatre. The Star Wars movie franchise offers many examples. They are archetypal characters, simplified and "flat". As a result, they may  be easy targets for parody, and criticized as clichés. Stock characters help to identify a genre or subgenre. For example, a fairy tale or fantasy is likely to have a knight-errant as hero and a witch as opposition.

One stock character often used is the low-class character(s) who warn the hero of danger to come. Examples:
The witches who warn Macbeth that he will not be defeated "until Birnam wood move to high Dunsinane", and that "no man of woman born" may harm him.
 A beggar tells Caesar "beware the Ides of March!".
It seems their function is to introduce the idea of fatalism, the idea that we are not masters of our fate. Human fame and glory is temporary. Even Achilles has his weakness.

As the hero falls, he is usually allowed a final comment. Caesar's was "Et tu, Brute?" meaning "Not you as well, Brutus?" That's known as a valediction (means a farewell comment). Shakespeare has many examples: Another famous example is Richard III's last cry of "A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse!"

Plot 
The film begins with wildlife photographer Farhan Qureshi (R. Madhavan) boarding his flight from Delhi when he receives a phone-call from Chatur Ramalingam (Omi Vaidya), his biggest rival from college, who claims to be knowing the whereabouts of his long-lost friend and collegemate named Ranchhoddas Shyamaldas Chanchad a.k.a. Rancho (Aamir Khan). Right when his airplane takes off, Farhan fakes a heart attack to create an emergency landing of his flight and escapes from the airport in someone else's booked taxi at the arrival terminal. While on his way to the house of another friend and collegemate named Raju Rastogi (Sharman Joshi), who is now married and lives a reputed lifestyle, Farhan contacts him and apprises him of this development before being joined by Raju from outside the latter's house.
Subsequently, the duo rushes to the campus of their former college called the Imperial College of Engineering (ICE) and meet Chatur, who reminds them of the long-forgotten bet he had made with the group 10 years ago about who will end up more successful in the next 10 years, and boasts to them about his more successful career in the United States as the vice president of Rockledge Corporation, an American conglomerate. Frustrated, Farhan and Raju lose their temper at Chatur for his pretext to bring them to the place, but calm down when Chatur reveals that he has traced Rancho to Shimla. The three of them then begin their journey to Shimla in search of Rancho as Farhan reminisces about their college days.
Over a flashback 10 years prior, it is shown that Farhan joined the prestigious ICE since his orthodox father (Parikshit Sahni) forced him to pursue engineering despite his passion for wildlife photography. Upon arriving, he befriends his second roommate Raju, who has come from a lower middle-class family, which has pinnned very high hopes on him to bring them out of poverty. While being ragged by the hostel seniors, Farhan and Raju stumble upon their seemingly naive third roommate Rancho, who has come from a rich family but has a passion of experimenting using different theories and consequently tops the class. He gives unorthodox answers to the college professors as an advice to serve them with rather understandable, easygoing learning methods. Rancho, Raju and Farhan, now good friends, meet Dr. Viru Sahastrabuddhe (Boman Irani), the director of ICE nicknamed "Virus" by the students, on the day of their introduction to the college's principles
. Virus believes in a strict and competitive education system and Rancho's carefree love for knowledge always results in him being at odds with his draconian teaching philosophy, especially during their first meeting.
Soon, Joy Lobo (Ali Fazal), a student at ICE with a passion of engineering similar to that of Rancho, is denied graduation by Virus on grounds of failure to meet his project deadline, and depressingly dumps his innovative drone camera, which is immediately discovered by Rancho. After learning about Joy's predicament, the trio recreates the drone camera in order to cheer him up, but Joy unfortunately commits suicide by hanging before he can see his project coming to life. Due to this tragic incident, Rancho holds Virus' approach responsible for Joy's suicide and confronts him over the extreme pressure placed by him on the ICE students, therefore embarrassing and insulting him in front of the students. This provokes a furious Virus to send complaint letters to Farhan and Raju's parents, explaining to them that Rancho is a bad influence to their children. As a result, the trio is confronted by Farhan and Raju's respective parents at their respective houses.
Later that night, the hungry trio gatecrashes a wedding for dinner, whence they bump into a young girl named Pia (Kareena Kapoor), who is shown to be engaged to her materially obsessive boyfriend named Suhas Tandon (Sanjay Lafont). Rancho advises Pia to leave Suhas, which ends up in a comical demonstration of spilling mint chutney on his expensive leather shoes, pushing Pia into anger. However, she turns out to be the younger daughter of Virus, who confronts the trio after they are tricked by Pia, as it also turns out that the wedding is for Pia's older sister Mona (Mona Singh). The following morning, Virus summons Farhan and Raju to his office and warns them about the consequences of them being friends with Rancho by pointing out the modest financial situations of their families.
While Farhan remains loyal to Rancho, Raju is provoked to move in with Chatur, an arrogant, competitive, Anglo-Indian student, who was born in Uganda and studied in Pondicherry. He believes in rote memorization and is nicknamed "Silencer" by the students, as he consumes some memory-enhancing pills with the side-effect of farting off in a silent and yet lethal way. Determined to teach Chatur a lesson about memorization and also show Raju the reality, Rancho and Farhan distract Chatur and the ICE librarian Dubey (Akhil Mishra) and secretly make obscene modifications, like "chamatkar" (miracle) to "balatkar" (screw) and "dhan" (wealth) to "stan" (bossoms), to the script of Chatur's Teachers' Day speech. After a disastrous speech before Virus and the Minister of Education, which still fails to convince Raju, the devastated Chatur drunkenly confronts Rancho and Farhan and makes a bet with them to see who will end up more successful in the next 10 years.
Although initially upset with Rancho's behaviour, Pia develops a crush on him after Rancho lies to Suhas about she having lost the expensive watch he had gifted to her, showing Pia his materialistic side. Fed up with Suhas' materialistic attitude, Pia returns him the watch and angrily calls off their engagement. The same night, Raju's paralyzed father (Mukund Bhatt) suffers from a medical emergency and is rushed to the hospital by Rancho via Pia's scooter by riding it inside the hospital premises. Raju, who is able to catch up, realises his mistake on hearing from the doctor how the timely intervention saved his father's life and reconciles with Rancho and Farhan. The trio proceed to give their final exams the next day and at the end of the year, Rancho comes first in the class, while Farhan and Raju are last and second to last, respectively
. During the yearly class photograph, Rancho makes a bet with Virus that if either Farhan or Raju manages to get a job from on-campus interviews, Virus will shave off his moustache.
The story catches up to the present as Farhan, Raju and Chatur finally reach Shimla, where Chatur has located Rancho's house. However, upon arriving, they are extremely shocked to come across a completely different man (Javed Jaffrey) identifying himself as "Ranchhoddas Shyamaldas Chanchad", whose face is pasted over Rancho's face in their first year class photograph with an ICE degree to Rancho's name. When the confused Farhan and Raju question Chatur on how he got the Shimla address, he reveals that he spotted Rancho in the photograph clicked by his secretary Tracy, when she had come to Shimla to fix his appointment with an international scientist named "Phunsukh Wangdu", a sensational inventor with 400 patents to credit, whom Chatur's company is trying to sign a deal with, ahead of their Japanese rivals.
Upon learning this, Farhan and Raju revisit and confront the so-called "Ranchhoddas", who initially refuses to reveal anything and threatens them at gunpoint, but when the duo turns the tables on him and threatens to flush his late father Shyamaldas' ashes down the toilet, he admits that he is the real Ranchhoddas and that the "Rancho" who had been with them in ICE was actually his family's gardener's son nicknamed "Chhote", who was incredibly intelligent and gifted. He was taken in by the Chanchad family after being orphaned, and Ranchhoddas took advantage of Rancho's thirst for knowledge by having him appear as a proxy for his school exams and also have all his school assignments completed by him.
After a schoolteacher caught the bluff one day, Shyamaldas (Arun Bali) instructed him to continue the ruse for not wanting his son to experience the same disrespect that he himself experienced due to his illiteracy. As per a deal between Shyamaldas and Rancho, Ranchhoddas went to London for four years while Rancho assumed his identity at ICE and promised Shyamaldas to cut off all contact with everyone there after graduation, but warned Ranchhoddas afterwards that "two idiots" would come looking for him one day. Ranchhoddas requests Farhan and Raju to keep all this information a secret and gives them Rancho's real address. The group resumes their journey to Ladakh, where Rancho is apparently working as a schoolteacher, and a distressingly delighted Chatur cites his superiority of signing a deal with Phunsukh Wangdu, irritating Farhan and Raju.
As the story rewinds back to their fourth year of college, the trio is shown to be approaching graduation and Virus insults Farhan and Raju due to their consistent failures in exams, during his announcement about the upcoming on-campus job interviews before the final exams. One night, Rancho points out to Farhan and Raju why they consistently place last; Farhan's passion is wildlife photography, not engineering, and Raju lacks self-confidence in the fear about his current poverty. When Farhan and Raju make a bet with Rancho that they will confront their problems if he confesses his feelings for Pia, the trio breaks into Virus' house in a drunken state at midnight. While Rancho climbs up to Pia's room to propose to her, Farhan and Raju urinate on the letter-box of Virus, who spots Raju during the trio's escape.
The next day, Virus summons Raju to his office and gives him an ultimatum of either acting as his witness in rusticating Rancho or being rusticated himself. Neither wanting to disappoint his family yet again nor betray his close friend, a distraught Raju jumps off the window in Virus' office from the 3rd-floor to attempt suicide, and ends up in a coma due to immediate hospitalisation. However, he is successfully recovered over the next few months with support from his family and friends, while Virus also rescinds his rustication. With a newfound perspective of his life, Raju attends his on-campus interview on the day of his discharge from the hospital, and confidently succeeds in securing a job in an engineering firm. On the other hand, Farhan also ends up successful in convincing his father about his passion for wildlife photography and contentment with the job he secured with his role model, wildlife photographer Andre Istvan, in Hungary
. Thus, Virus' barber Govind (Rajendra Patwardhan) shaves off his moustache as per the bet he had made with Rancho. In an attempt to protect his fragile ego, Virus drunkenly plans to sabotage Raju's chances of success by rigging his final exam question papers. However, Pia visits the trio in a drunken state and hands over the duplicate keys of Virus' office to Rancho, encouraging him to copy the question papers rigged by Virus for Raju.
As the story forwards to the journey, Farhan and Raju suddenly remember Pia on their way and learn that she is getting married that day itself in Manali, Himachal Pradesh. The duo is determined to take Pia along with them but Chatur protests against the detour as it will jeopardize his meeting with Phunsukh Wangdu. However, Farhan and Raju gag Chatur inside the car trunk and head straight to Manali, where the duo gatecrashes Pia's wedding to Suhas. Farhan sneaks in to reunite with Pia, while Raju substitutes himself as a housekeeper for Suhas with a similar comical demonstration of ironing mint chutney on his expensive wedding suit. Pia initially refuses to go with Farhan, despite hearing Suhas screaming at Raju for ruining his wedding suit, leading Farhan to realise that their plan has worked.
Furthermore, Raju escapes in the heat of the moment with the wedding suit, claiming to Suhas that he will return it in mint condition, but instead proceeds to fill in as the bridegroom. An initially worried Pia, as she finds this out, grows concerned over public reaction to the ruse, causing Raju to reveal himself and confront Pia over her love for Rancho, even as Suhas turns up in a gown. As she spots Farhan at the entrance, with the car doors opened, Pia, in front of the stunned Suhas, Virus, Mona and other wedding guests, breaks free from the bond and escapes with the duo and Chatur to go to Ladakh and reunite with Rancho, although concerned about his unknown marital status.
The story rolls again into the flashback where Rancho and Farhan break into Virus' office with the help of its duplicate keys given to them by Pia and are successful in copying the question papers for Raju. Despite Raju refusing to use the question papers, Virus discovers what happened and has the trio rusticated from ICE in the middle of the night as his initial anger soon turns into disappointment. However, Pia admits her role in the events and confronts Virus over her brother's suicidal demise, which was misinterpreted by Virus as an accident, simply because his passion for literature and desire to become a writer was overruled by Virus, who was insistent on his son becoming an engineer.
As the trio is leaving the campus in the middle of heavy rainstorms, they come across the now-pregnant Mona, who goes under labor no later after Pia walks out of the house and is unable to be driven to the hospital. Applying their knowledge of engineering, the trio brings Mona inside the table tennis room of ICE and successfully conducts her delivery by modifying a vacuum cleaner into a makeshift venthouse with the help of other students as well as Pia from the hospital through a webcam. Realising the fault in his ways and how genius Rancho is, a grateful Virus acknowledges him as an extraordinary students by gifting him a very rare Space Pen and lets the trio stay till the final exams. Rancho, along with Farhan and Raju, tops the university in the final year, but abruptly leaves the graduation ceremony without informing anyone and has never been heard of again.
