It is commonly argued that the fact that our universe is fine-tuned for life favors both a design hypothesis as well as a non-teleological multiverse hypothesis. The claim that the fine-tuning of this universe supports a non-teleological multiverse hypothesis has been forcefully challenged however by Ian Hacking and Roger White. In this paper we take this challenge even further by arguing that if it succeeds, then not only does the fine-tuning of this universe fail to support a multiverse hypothesis, but it tends to favor a single-universe hypothesis instead.

反对多元宇宙的微调论证



人们普遍认为,我们的宇宙针对生命进行了微调,这一事实既支持设计假说,也支持非目的论多元宇宙假说。然而,这个宇宙的微调支持非目的论多元宇宙假说的说法遭到了伊恩·哈金和罗杰·怀特的强烈挑战。在本文中,我们进一步提出这一挑战,认为如果成功,那么这个宇宙的微调不仅无法支持多元宇宙假设,而且往往会支持单一宇宙假设。
