What is the anthropic principle?
In: Physics
Prior answers are correct. However, someone, I believe Hawking, spelled out that there are two anthropic principles: The strong and the weak.
The Weak Anthropic Principle points out that we can only ask “why is the universe like this” in a universe that allows us to exist.
The Strong Anthropic Principle says that in fact, no universe without questioning intelligence can exist, because really our perception of the universe is the only thing that makes it real (!)
I’m certain someone could explain that better… maybe when you turn 6.
