Anthropic Principle Quotes

• A person whose skin is metallic can no more have its reproduction restricted than a black-skinned person. Regarding life as a form of machinery and intelligent machines as people without our environmental limitations is essential in understanding FAP, the Final Anthropic Principle, which deals with evolution in the far future.

• Imagínese a un charco que se despierta una mañana y piensa: "Este es un mundo interesante en el que me encuentro, un agujero interesante en el que me encuentro; me queda bastante bien, ¿verdad? De hecho, ¡me queda asombrosamente bien! Debe de haber sido hecho para tenerme en él.

• As we survey all the evidence, the thought insistently arises that some supernatural agency-or, rather, Agency-must be involved. Is it possible that suddenly, without intending to, we have stumbled upon scientific proof of the existence of a Supreme Being? Was it God who stepped in and so providentially crafted the cosmos for our benefit?

• Una interpretación de los hechos basada en el sentido común sugiere que un superinteligente ha manipulado la física, así como la química y la biología, y que en la naturaleza no hay fuerzas ciegas de las que valga la pena hablar. Las cifras que uno calcula a partir de los hechos me parecen tan abrumadoras que ponen esta conclusión casi fuera de toda duda.

• There is for me powerful evidence that there is something going on behind it all. . . It seems as though somebody has fine tuned nature's numbers to make the Universe. . . The impression of design is overwhelming.

• When you realize that the laws of nature must be incredibly finely tuned to produce the universe we see, that conspires to plant the idea that the universe did not just happen, but that there must be a purpose behind it.

• Algunos físicos resuelven el problema de la necesidad de constantes físicas finamente ajustadas... invocando el principio antrópico, diciendo, bueno, aquí estamos, existimos, tenemos que estar en el tipo de universo capaz de darnos origen. Eso en sí mismo es, creo, insatisfactorio, y como bien dice John Lennox, algunos físicos lo resuelven con la idea del multiverso, la idea de que nuestro universo es sólo uno de muchos universos.
