STRUCTURE OF THE UNIVERSE AND MAN’S PLACE IN IT

Abstract

Man’s place in the universe is analyzed from the point of view of the anthropic principle. It is shown that even a small difference in the values of global constants from the existing ones leads to big problems of human existence. This can be seen as an indication that the person, as a rational being, occupies a central position in the universe, not in terms of the geometry of space, but as a special form of existence of matter. In the concept of multiple universes in which other values are possible global constants, everything happens without eye-witnesses, i.e. the universes remain sterile.
