TL;DR
This paper reviews the historical background of the landscape problem in cosmology, proposes criteria for its resolution, and evaluates its solvability within various speculative cosmological models.
Contribution
It offers a new perspective by establishing criteria to assess the landscape problem's solvability across different cosmological theories.
Findings
Provides criteria for solving the landscape problem
Evaluates the landscape problem in eternal inflation scenarios
Assesses the problem in cyclic and natural selection cosmologies
Abstract
I discuss the historical roots of the landscape problem and propose criteria for its successful resolution. This provides a perspective to evaluate the possibility to solve it in several of the speculative cosmological scenarios under study including eternal inflation, cosmological natural selection and cyclic cosmologies.
