The Anthropic Principle suggests that the universe may have been designed for human life. This anthropocentric, anti-Copernican, notion elicits a variety of responses from scientists, including some elaborate attempts to invalidate it by trying to show that there may be an infinity of alternative universes.

Abstract We have said a good deal about alternatives to the Big Bang, particularly in chapters 4 and 7, but feel impelled to say a bit more, particularly about the anthropic cosmological principle. We do not regard it as an alternative to the Big Bang model, but there has been so much written about it, at both technical and popular ...

The anthropic principle states that the fact of existence of intelligent beings may be a valid explanation of why the universe and laws of physics are as they are. The origin and some of the deeper implications of the principle are investigated. The discussion involves considerations of physics and metaphysics, unified schemes and holism, the nature of

For a long time Man has been assigning a special place in reality to himself. Already in ancient times Protagoras said that Man was the measure of all things, and later that maxim was understood in many ways, but never in a derogatory way with respect to mankind.

Time and the Anthropic Principle
Mind, 1992Prima facie, we should prefer theories which make our observations fairly much to be expected, rather than highly extraordinary. Waking up in the night, you form two theories. Each has a half chance of being right, in your estimation. One, that you left the back door open, gives the chances as one in ten that the neighbour's cat is in your bedroom. The

An answer to Fermi's question, ‘Where are they?’, is presented. The answer is: we are alone because our Universe is bad for civilization. The combination of physical constants does not need to be more fine tuned than is necessary to permit one civilization and, since extreme fine tuning of the constants is a very unlikely event, it is most likely that ...

The Anthropic Cosmological Principle
Physics Bulletin, 1987John D Barrow and Frank J Tipler 1986 Oxford: Oxford University Press xx + 706 pp price £25 ISBN 0 19 851949 4 Most ancient philosophies and theologies viewed mankind as the central element in the cosmos, the ultimate reason for its existence. This world outlook was profoundly challenged following the rise of modern science.
