Does the Moon exist to aid our progress into space? One of the most remarkable books of the last 30 years is The Anthropic Cosmological Principle by John Barrow and Frank Tipler.

Now as I explained earlier, you can’t just invoke the anthropic principle, it requires that there be multiple values of the Cosmological Constant realized in the “Universe” — however ...

The Anthropic Principle may be a remarkable starting point, allowing us to place constraints on the Universe's properties owing to the fact of our existence, but that is not a scientific solution ...

In his recent book 1, Leonard Susskind, a staunch proponent of the anthropic principle, mentions these similarities but, in my view, he fails to follow them to their logical conclusion.

An interesting twist on these arguments was provided by Anthony Aguirre, who described anthropic constraints on so-called cold cosmological models, in which the initial ratio of photons to baryons ...

In their 1990 book The Early Universe, cosmologists Rocky Kolb and Mike Turner write: “It is unclear to one of the authors how a concept as lame as the ‘anthropic idea’ was ever elevated to the status ...

The first problem with the Anthropic Principle is that there is no agreement on what it is. The term itself was invented relatively recently, apparently by British cosmologist Brendan Carter ...

We continue our discussion of the Boltzmann Brain - a hypothetical randomly assembled mind rather than an evolved one - by looking at the Anthropic Principle and the Fine-Tuned Universe Theory ...
