The Anthropic Cosmological Principle
TLDR
In this article, Barrow and Tipler examined the question of Mankind's place in the universe, taking the reader on a tour of many scientific disciplines and offering fascinating insights into issues such as the nature of life, the serach for extraterrestrial intelligence, and the past history and fate of our universe.Abstract:
Is there any connection between the vastness of the universes of stars and galaxies and the existence of life on a small planet out in the suburbs of the Milky Way? This book shows that there is. In their classic work, John Barrow and Frank Tipler examine the question of Mankind's place in the Universe, taking the reader on a tour of many scientific disciplines and offering fascinating insights into issues such as the nature of life, the serach for extraterrestrial intelligence, and the past history and fate of our universe.read more

A perspective on weather‐human response relationships
TL;DR: In this article, a gray area remains between established and suspected relationships between atmospheric conditions and human physiological and psychological well-being, and some explanations are offered, both for these divergent views, and for the tendency on the part of many to attribute to weather a more prominent part of their lives than might be justified.

Anthropic Bound on Dark Radiation and its Implications for Reheating
Fuminobu Takahashi,Masaki Yamada +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an anthropic bound on the extra neutrino species was derived based on the observation that a positive cosmological constant suppresses the growth of matter fluctuations due to the prolonged radiation dominated era, which reduces the fraction of matter that collapses into galaxies, hence, the number of observers.
