Dawkins: On Our Fine-tuned Universe
“there are many universes, co-existing like bubbles of foam, in a ‘multiverse’ ... The multiverse as a whole has a plethora of alternative set of by-laws. The anthropic principle kicks in to explain that we have to be in one of those universes (presumably a minority) whose by-laws happened to be propitious to our eventual evolution and hence contemplation of the problem.” (pages 173-174)
