The anthropic principle II

Joe Rosen

Abstract

The anthropic principle proposed by the author is discussed and clarified and compared with other versions. It is applied to an explanation of space and time. A self-contained universe picture is constructed, which is richer than the unique universe picture, but allows the operation of the anthropic principle. It implies an intimate relation between space-time and the quantum.
