This book presents an examination of various questions on the nature of the universe and its relationship to life on Earth. The possibility of the existence of other universes with other life-forms is also considered.
The modern collection of ideas known as the anthropic cosmological principle has emerged as the latest manifestation in the history of philosophical thought concerning the design of the universe and mankind's place within it. This investigation of that principle covers various scientific disciplines and presents a picture of the physical world solely in terms of its physical constants. The are also chapters on the definition and nature of life, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence and the interpretation of the quantum theory in relation to the existence of observers.
