It's a value defined by a single equation you could find in high school level algebra class. Only the inputs are particularly complicated. None of it is mathematically impossible. I suppose to some people it goes against their philosophy of science but that's about the limit of how it causes problems.
Mathematical impossibility.
Err-uh Uh. If you counted all the hydrogen atoms in the entire universe you would get 1 followed by 80 zeroes. If you wanted the likely hood that we get our specific cosmological constant, it becomes a 1 in 1 followed by a one-hundred twenty-two zeroes chance that we get ours.
