Emergence of Life in an Inflationary Universe (2020)
None of this probabilistic reasoning matters in the face of the anthropic principle. If there are infinite universes, we could easily be in the mostly stupidly improbable one possible, since we are not observing (and cannot observe) all possible universes, let alone an average one. This why a whole ton of speculation is completely meaningless, because we clearly live in a stupidly improbable universe that is already &quot;fine tuned&quot;--and that&#x27;s not a problem. It doesn&#x27;t mean there has to be God or anything. In fact, the settings of our universe imply <i>nothing</i>.
