Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: Element Abundances

Universe, 2022
We investigate the dependence of elemental abundances on physical constants, and the implications this has for the distribution of complex life for various proposed habitability criteria.

Quantum-Based QoE Optimization in Advanced Cellular Networks: Integration and Cloud Gaming Use Case

IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society
This work explores the integration of Quantum Machine Learning (QML) and Quantum-Inspired (QI) techniques for optimizing End-to-End (E2E) network services in telecommunication systems, particularly focusing on 5G networks and beyond.

Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: Fraction of Planets that Develop Life

Universe, 2019
In a multiverse context, determining the probability of being in our particular universe depends on estimating its overall habitability compared to other universes with different values of the fundamental constants.

Past incompleteness of a bouncing multiverse

, 2014
According to classical GR, Anti-de Sitter (AdS) bubbles in the multiverse terminate in big crunch singularities. It has been conjectured, however, that the fundamental theory may resolve these singularities and replace them by nonsingular bounces.

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.

A framework for evaluating reproducibility and replicability in economics

Economic Inquiry, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 338-356, April 2025.
Abstract We propose a framework for evaluating reproducibility and replicability in economics. Reproducibility is defined as testing if the results of an original study can be reproduced using the same data and replicability is defined as testing if the results of an original study hold in new data.

Prediction and explanation in the multiverse [PDF]

, 2008
Probabilities in the multiverse can be calculated by assuming that we are typical representatives in a given reference class. But is this class well defined? What should be included in the ensemble in which we are supposed to be typical?

Can an Eternal Life Start From the Minimal Fine-Tuning for Intelligence? [PDF]

Философия и космология, 2016
Since modern physicists made more and more advances in precisely measuring the fundamental constants in nature, cosmologists have been confronted with this problem: how do we declare that nature’s constants are fine-tuned for the emergence of life?
