Many-worlds interpretation of quantum theory and mesoscopic anthropic principle

TL;DR

This paper proposes combining the Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics with an anthropic principle at the mesoscopic level to explain rare events essential for life and mind, addressing cosmological and temporal issues.

Contribution

It introduces the Mesoscopic Anthropic Principle within the Many-Worlds framework, offering new explanations for rare phenomena crucial for life's emergence.

Findings

Application to Solar Eclipses and complex molecule formation

Explanation of fine-tuning of constants via mesoscopic anthropic reasoning

Addressing the problem of Time's Arrow in quantum multiverse context

Abstract

We suggest to combine the Anthropic Principle with Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Theory. Realizing the multiplicity of worlds it provides an opportunity of explanation of some important events which are assumed to be extremely improbable. The Mesoscopic Anthropic Principle suggested here is aimed to explain appearance of such events which are necessary for emergence of Life and Mind. It is complementary to Cosmological Anthropic Principle explaining the fine tuning of fundamental constants. We briefly discuss various possible applications of Mesoscopic Anthropic Principle including the Solar Eclipses and assembling of complex molecules. Besides, we address the problem of Time's Arrow in the framework of Many-World Interpretation. We suggest the recipe for disentangling of quantities defined by fundamental physical laws and by an anthropic selection.
