Abstract

Reports on the anthropic principle in cosmology. Idea of the anthropic theory that human existence restricts the values of physical constants, because to be observed, the Universe must allow life to exist; Idea that coincidences in the makeup of the universe which allow for the existence of humans are too coincidental; Concept of the multiverse, in which there are many universes; Opposition to the anthropic theory on account of its inability to be tested.
