Error

A Scientific Method should identify error.

The statement: There are humans because conditions are right, is not scientific. By the same token, the statement,  the Universal Gravitational constant, cannot deviate from present value, because we would disappear if it did, is not scientific.

We can think of methods to check these ideas, maybe by looking at the evolution of the Universe, since the Big Bang, but without observational corroboration, the Anthropic Principle, and the Fine Tuning Principle are not testable.

Somebody I know in Canada has predicted the number of black holes observed, based on evolutionary hypotheses. As far as I know there is no widespread acceptance of this prediction. Given the sorry state of Research in Motion, or the job situation for intellectuals there in Canada, and if he doesn't want to become a stripper, he should hurry up getting a Nobel Prize, if he wants his Institute running for a long time, at least as long as he is alive.

On the other hand Stephen Wolfram is doing well for himself.

Way to go Steve!

Aspiring physicist take note, next month we will know who will get the Nobel Physics Prize. Already Markus Greiner, got the MacArthur Fellowship.
