Rethinking the Anthropic Principle [PDF]

Philosophy of Science
Abstract The anthropic principle (AP) states that “what we can expect to observe must be restricted by the conditions necessary for our presence as observers”. But the phrase “our presence as observers” cannot be uniquely interpreted in the context of the theories within which AP is meant to be understood and ...

The Anthropic Principle and Multiple Universe Hypotheses [PDF]

, 2019
The universe appears to be fine-tuned for human life, which leads some to conclude that the universe must have been created for us. The Anthropic Principle is an attempt to dispel that argument, by stating that humans could only exist in a fine-tuned ...

Anthropic reasoning in multiverse cosmology and string theory [PDF]

, 2005
Anthropic arguments in multiverse cosmology and string theory rely on the weak anthropic principle (WAP). We show that the principle, though ultimately a tautology, is nevertheless ambiguous.

THE ANTHROPIC PRINCIPLE REVISITED [PDF]

, 2002
The usage of the anthropic principle in modern cosmology is reviewed. It is argued that its recent use to explain the observedvalues 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 ...

External climate change. . . . . Internal physiologic evolution

The Journal of Climate Change and Health, 2022
To gain a full understanding of the relationship between climate change and physiology we must transcend the superficial Anthropic Principle, that we are ‘in’ this Universe, and enter the world of ‘Goldilocks’ who was seeking the ‘just right’ condition ...

The Anthropic Principle Is Testable And Appears Weak [PDF]

, 2022
The Anthropic Principle has been with us since the 1970s. This Principle is advanced to account for the "fine tuning" of the 25 constants of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Were these constants very different, life could not exist.

Who Discovered the Hoyle Level?

Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2015
The prediction of Hoyle that the nucleus of 12C must have a resonance at 7.62MeV was the trigger to the Anthropic Principle. We review the history of the discovery of this level and investigate to what extent this was a genuine prediction.
