About This Quote

The anthropic principle states that because we humans have the ability to observe the universe, it must be possible for life to exist in other places. Of course, it could be a universe where there is no life, but we have to assume it could be a universe where there is no life with a different set of physical laws. We can't say that we humans are the only intelligent species that exists, since there could be other creatures out there living according to different rules.
