Sadly, the evidence shows Harvard has also wrecked the hard sciences.

Surprisingly, we found that even significantly higher dark energy densities would still be compatible with life, suggesting ...

The Anthropic Cosmological Principle emerged from the heart of modern physics as a response to the staggering unlikelihood of our own existence. The intricate fine-tuning of the cosmos, from the ...

Anthropic principle: We can only observe a universe where conditions allow for observers like us. The fact that we’re here explains why the universe looks this way. Many see fine-tuning as a strong ...

She suggested the extremes of thinking were the anthropic principle, where “the universe is as it is because we are here to observe it, because we are special” and the “nihilistic answer ...

The Many-Worlds Interpretation Proposed by physicist Hugh Everett in 1957, the Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum ...

Is the universe 'tuned' to support life, and ultimately us? Physicists Nemanja Kaloper and Alexander Westphal have proposed ways to test this Anthropic principle. (Image of deep star field from the ...

A new paper suggests the anthropic principle—that the universe is fine-tuned for life—can be tested. It would be falsified if observations confirm three conditions: cosmic inflation occurred, axions ...

The Anthropic Principle, first proposed by Brandon Carter in 1973, suggests that the universe is “fine-tuned” to support life. Since then, it has sparked heated debate among scientists and ...

The Anthropic Principle states that the universe’s parameters suggest that it was built to support life. However, some scientists find this conjecture ultimately non-falsifiable, as humans ...

The anthropic principle states that the fundamental parameters of the Universe such as the strength of the fundamental forces, have been finely tuned to support life. Whether this is true or not ...

Is the universe perfectly set up to support life as we know it? This idea, called the Anthropic Principle, has sparked debate among scientists and philosophers for decades. Now, researchers have ...
