Is the Strong Anthropic Principle Too Weak?
We discuss the Carter's formula about the mankind evolution probability following the derivation proposed by Barrow and Tipler. We stress the relation between the existence of billions of galaxies and the evolution of at least one intelligent life, whose living time is not trivial, all over the Universe. We show that the existence probability and the lifetime of a civilization depend not only o...
متن کاملThe weak anthropic principle and the landscape of string theory
We note that there is an exception to the general arguments that no falsifiable predictions can be made, on the basis of of presently available data, by applying the weak anthropic principle (WAP) to the landscape of string theory. If there are infinitely more vacua in the landscape for one sign of a parameter than the other, within an anthropicaly allowed range, then under very weak assumption...
متن کاملThe Anthropic Principle Revisited
The usage of the anthropic principle in modern cosmology is reviewed. It is argued that its recent use to explain the observed values of cosmological parameters as most probable values for an ensemble of universes, is not justified. However, the anthropic principle can be invoked to argue that a vast number of universes must exist, in which the cosmological parameters and constants of nature ta...
متن کاملThe Inverse Anthropic Principle
In the Middle Age, official science said wrongly we are in a very special location, but now it says we are living a special epoch. Indeed, in the famous article of Carr and Rees, 'The anthropic principle and the structure of the physical world', published by Nature (278, 605-612 (1979)) one reads “All these scales can be deduced directly from known physics except the mass and length scale of th...
متن کاملAnthropic Principle
The human body is a constant flux of thousands of chemical/biological interactions and processes connecting molecules, cells, organs, and fluids, throughout the brain, body, and nervous system. Up until recently it was thought that all these interactions operated in a linear sequence, passing on information much like a runner passing the baton to the next runner. However, the latest findings in...
