Erik Curiel explains the challenges in making assessments of probability by making assumptions about the space of universes--or cosmological...
Natalja Deng discusses whether the apparent fine-tuning of the universe for life can be evidence for a divine creator. Natalja Deng (Yonsei...
Simon Friederich reviews the challenges that arise in using empirical evidence that the universe is tuned for life to evaluate multiverse hy...
Erik Curiel and Simon Friederich hash out the problems we encounter when we look for evidence of a multiverse. How do we gain evidence for a...
