The notion that certain features of the universe, such as the values of the physical constants, may be constrained by the requirement that intelligent observers can arise was first mooted nearly 40 years ago. This “anthropic principle” has been a focus of controversy (even intense antipathy in some quarters) ever since. However, judging by a […]
