The anthropic principle is the idea that the laws of physics are tuned precisely to allow complex life like ourselves emerge and so ponder the nature of the universe. It’s a principle dragged out again and again, particularly by the ID brigade, to suggest that there is a god running the show.
Of course, many scientists [...]

An Intertwined Universe?

A mathematical treatment of two constants of the Universe leads to an interesting conclusion.  

Maybe string theorists are not so far off base as one might think in suggestions of an intertwined Universe.  The following bit of dealing mathematically  with two constants of nature suggests something of the same thing.

Combination of Planck’s Constant [...]

Our universe is stunningly unlikely. Does this show that it has a creator? No. The word “creator” has no meaning here, and can have no meaning. See the book Our Almost Impossible Universe (OAIU). Yet even if there was one it could not arrange for all these coincidences to occur. Consider the dimension (so the [...]

Following its initial publication on the arXiv physics archive at Cornell University earlier this year http://arxiv.org/pdf/physics/0612053, the author of the theory, Peter Lynds, presented a second paper about it at the International Conference on Complex Systems in Boston on November 1 http://necsi.org/events/iccs7/viewpaper.php?id=225. Another group also presented a conference paper about the theory.
