I suppose his answer might be more philosophical. All things in this universe are shards of the same one universe. Shards of this one universe thinking about what this universe is itself made of. As far as we know from the fact the constants cannot be derived from any other principle and must be measured directly, the universe is made of itself. The universe is one.
Also an interesting read, if you're feeling philosophical about the number 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-electron_universe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-electron_universe
EDIT: I'm tempted to give myself a downvote, totally missed phi was an actual constant in itself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio

- czbond 12y agoThe one electron wiki entry literally blew my mind. I read the first sentence and thought "absolutely not". Then as I read into it thinking "give it a chance". My logic tells me this can't be the case ..... but man this is a wild theory to me.
- darkmighty 12y agoThe theory is more an amusement than anything, but as the article points out, it seems it led to a major impact with the exposition of CPT symmetry. It makes sense if you know of Feynman's earlier work with Wheeler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheeler%E2%80%93Feynman_absorber_theory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheeler%E2%80%93Feynman_absorbe...) which is actually a consistent theory of classical electrodynamics (i.e. half the electromagnetic interactions are "coming from the future").
