Consciousness behind creation of the universes we perceive
A new book titled Biocosm, by James N. Gardner, speculates about life's role in the cosmos.
Gardner's hypothesis is called the Selfish Biocosm. It states that intelligent life plays a key role in a cosmological cycle whereby the universe, over enormous timescales, creates new copies of itself. The laws of physics, in this view, strongly favor the emergence of life and intelligence -- and indeed are designed to do so. However, this design is not of supernatural origin.
Describing the ekpyrotic cycle between 'big bangs' Gardner says there may be a closed timelike curve -- a gravitational warping of space and time such that future events can influence the past. Thus, the universe may have been created by its own inhabitants.
