anthropic

1 This is a version of what has come to be called the “weak anthropic principle.”

2 The first result — the anthropic principle — has been accepted by physicists for 43 years.

3 But physicists can always fall back on the anthropic principle, he said, to explain why we happen to find ourselves in this particular universe.

4 But I still think the anthropic principle is a dumb idea.

5 Similarly, modern cosmology is augmented by unsubstantiated, mathematically sophisticated ideas — of the multiverse, anthropic reasoning and string theory.

6 This solution satisfies many physicists but leaves many others implacably hostile to anthropic resolutions of physics problems.

很多物理学家很满意人择原理的解决方案;但是另外一些物理学家则固执的反对用它来解决物理问题.

7 A major reason for the endurance of the anthropic principle is the proliferation of multiverse theories, which hold that our universe is just one of many.

8 Questions abound about how the various proposals intersect with anthropic reasoning and the infamous multiverse idea.

9 That principle is called the "weak" anthropic principle.

10 After years of reflecting, I simply could not accept that the universe is random chance as the anthropic principle implies.

11 A second objection to the strong anthropic principle is that it runs against the tide of the whole history of science.

12 Yet the strong anthropic principle would claim that this whole vast construction exists simply for our sake.

13 I won't try to explain the anthropic principle, as I am not sure how to do so without making it sound tautological.

我不会试图去解释人择原理，因为我不知道怎么说才不会使它听起来像是无谓的重复。

14 Invoking the anthropic principle itself is controversial, he adds.

15 Few people would quarrel with the validity or utility of the weak anthropic principle.

16 Such crude anthropic explanations are not what we hoped for, but they may have to content us.

17 In this case the only difference between the regions would be their initial configurations and so the strong anthropic principle would reduce to the weak one.

18 That drives theorists to anthropic arguments: universes of all possible dimensionalities exist, but we see what we see because beings like us require a 3D habitat.

这样就驱使理论家去思考生活在3维空间的人为的 理由：所有可能的维数在宇宙里都是存在的，但是我们看到的只是我们能够看到的东西，因为像我们人，这样的生物，需要有一个3维的栖息地。

19 So we may, if we wish, use the weak anthropic principle to explain why the universe looks the way it does now.

20 Krauss presented these anthropic arguments as “cosmic natural selection,” and a solution to the problem of where the universe comes from.
