Also, in 1954, Fred Hoyle observed that there must exist a state of the Carbon 12 nucleus if the universe as we know it could exist at all, a state which was discovered in the next 4 years (see later for a discussion of this). For example, “Dirac’s large number hypothesis” in 1937 and Arthur Eddington’s “large number coincidences” were also examples of the anthropic principle in different names.
There were also several discussions of this idea before 1974.
This was elaborated in a book by John Barrow and Frank Tipler. This phrase was coined by Brandon Carter in 1974, although the basic idea goes back to Herman Weyl. The anthropic principle was thought of in 1974, by the astronomer Brandon Carter. A philosophical question that one can ask is: do the observers play a role in determining the laws of nature, including all their features, such as the strength of forces and how matter reacts to forces, or they are all determined in a completely objective manner with the observer having nothing to do with it? This discussion led to the enunciation of a principle called the “anthropic principle” in physics. The anthropic principle says that the universe is how it is because it must allow for the eventual creation of us, as observers. They have determined the nature of forces and matter in great detail. We know that the laws of physics have been determined by the meticulous work of many scientific geniuses down through the centuries. Although the Anthropic Principle regards mainly the field of cosmology, its suggestions extend into the field of biology, where they meet some recent demands for overcoming the Darwinian paradigm, flowing into that new, overall outlook on nature and life, that some authors have labelled Intelligent design. John Barrow and Frank Tipler develop and defend what they call the Final Anthropic Principle, 1 according to which the purpose of our presently Godless.
