Evolution of Human Cognition Required Einstein's Gravitational Waves

This article describes an unexpected anthropic fine-tuning of gravity: human cognition arose on Earth only because the laws of gravity included gravitational waves. Their link is the heat from decays of the radioactive isotopes 238U and 232Th, which were synthesized mainly in rare explosive mergers...
