If they can't be derived from first principles where did those numbers come from? Smolin says they evolved; some numbers produced more Black Holes than others and thus produced more offspring universes than others and they are the ones that predominate in the multiverse. Fortunately for us universes that are good at producing Black Holes also happen to have conditions favorable for life. A important question is , can information of any sort actually cross the event horizon of a Black Hole ? Smolin thinks it can but some thin k information is deposited on the 2D surface of the event horizon and never enters the interior of the Black Hole. We probably won't know who's right until we have a quantum theory of gravity.
