Many-worlds interpretation of quantum theory, mesoscopic anthropic principle and biological evolution

TL;DR

This paper proposes combining the Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics with the Anthropic Principle to explain improbable events crucial for life and mind emergence, emphasizing a mesoscopic perspective and biological evolution.

Contribution

It introduces the Mesoscopic Anthropic Principle within the Many-Worlds framework, offering new explanations for life's emergence and addressing biological evolution and time's arrow.

Findings

Application to solar eclipses and molecular assembly

Explanation of fine-tuning via multiverse selection

Insights into biological evolution mechanisms

Abstract

We suggest to combine the Anthropic Principle with the 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 the Cosmological Anthropic Principle explaining the fine tuning of fundamental constants. We briefly discuss various possible applications of the 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 the Many-Worlds Interpretation. We suggest the recipe for disentangling of quantities defined by fundamental physical laws and by an anthropic selection. The main emphasis is made on the problem of the biological evolution.
