Life originated during accelerating expansion in the multiverse

TL;DR

This paper explores the origin of life within the multiverse framework, proposing that life, cosmic acceleration, and quantum theory are interconnected aspects of a unified physical reality.

Contribution

It extends the participatory anthropic principle into the multiverse context and links the emergence of life to accelerated cosmic expansion and quantum theory.

Findings

Life can only exist during finite periods of accelerated universe expansion

Life, cosmic acceleration, and quantum theory are interconnected aspects of reality

The origin of life is related to multiverse and anthropic principles

Abstract

It is argued that all notions associated with the origin of life should be related with the participatory anthropic principle of Wheeler and must be extended into the realm of the multiverse. Also discussed is the notion that life can only be possible in a given universe during a finite period along which such a universe expands in an accelerated fashion. We advance finally the idea that life, cosmic accelerated expansion and quantum theory are nothing but three distinct faces from a single, unique coin which describes the physical reality.
