On the foundations of anthropic reasoning: Implications for life across the universe
Brendon J. Brewer, Geraint F. Lewis, Jesse Goodman
With only one confirmed example, namely the Earth, the abundance of life across the universe remains deeply uncertain, and local evidence about Earth's particular circumstances can…
Algorithmic bottlenecks in evolution: Genetic code, symbolic language, and the Great Filter hypothesis
Mikhail Prokopenko, Nihat Ay, Angelica Breviario +12
The Great Filter hypothesis proposes that the emergence of technological societies capable of interstellar travel depends on a small number of exceptionally hard and highly improba…
Wising up to CatWISE: using simulation-based inference to interpret the ecliptic bias and confirm the cosmic dipole excess
Oliver T. Oayda, Geraint F. Lewis
We apply Simulation-Based Inference ('SBI') to the cosmic dipole problem for the first time, measuring the distribution of quasar counts over the sky in the CatWISE2020 ('CatWISE')…
Local environmental dependence on weak-lensing shear statistics
Sonia Akter Ema, Md Rasel Hossen, Krzysztof Bolejko +1
Despite the assumption that an ideal FLRW observer is not dependent on the local environment, observations are biased by the positions of the observers due to the matter correlatio…
