Principle Of Mediocrity

Principle Of Mediocrity
"In 1995, Vilenkin proposed the 'principle of mediocrity' (PM), whereby 'we are one of a infinite number of civilizations living in thermalized regions of the multiverse' . In this scenario, different inflating universes with fundamental constants within the right interval for civilizations to emerge are nucleated from a multiverse..."

"It is often said that proponents of the anthropic principle have some crypto-teleological agenda, that the principle implies some kind of supernatural agency in the cosmos. Although this may be the case for the strong version of the principle (the universe in a sense created us), the opposite is true of the weak version: in the context of a multiverse, where every possible universe may exist, ours is not special; it just so happens to have the properties that allow for us to be here ."
