Boltzmann Brains & the Anthropic Principle
Visit our sponsor, Brilliant: https://brilliant.org/IsaacArthur/
We continue our discussion of the Boltzmann Brain - a hypothetical randomly assembled mind rather than an evolved one - by looking at the Anthropic Principle and the Fine-Tuned Universe Theory, alternative ways of viewing the probability of our existence than the classic Copernican Principle.
Make sure to catch Part 1 of the discussion at Up an Atom:
