  2. Square–cube law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squarecube_law

    Its volume would be multiplied by the cube of 2 and become 8 m 3. The original cube (1 m sides) has a surface area to volume ratio of 6:1. The larger (2 m sides) cube has a surface area to volume ratio of (24/8) 3:1. As the dimensions increase, the volume will continue to grow faster than the surface area. Thus the squarecube law.

  3. Anthropic principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic_principle

    The absurd universe: Our universe just happens to be the way it is. The unique universe: There is a deep underlying unity in physics that necessitates the Universe being the way it is. A Theory of Everything will explain why the various features of the Universe must have exactly the values that have been recorded.

  4. Mathematical universe hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_universe...

    In physics and cosmology, the mathematical universe hypothesis (MUH), also known as the ultimate ensemble theory, is a speculative "theory of everything" (TOE) proposed by cosmologist Max Tegmark. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] According to the hypothesis, the universe is a mathematical object in and of itself.

    The Hindu Supreme God Vishnu depicted as the Cosmic Man , with the whole Hindu universe in it. Macranthropy is an allegorical concept where the universe is portrayed as a giant human body, with various cosmic elements represented as body parts.

  6. Boltzmann brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_brain

    Boltzmann argues that, while most of the universe is featureless, humans do not see those regions because they are devoid of intelligent life; to Boltzmann, it is unremarkable that humanity views solely the interior of its Boltzmann universe, as that is the only place where intelligent life lives.

  7. Universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe

    The portion of the universe that can be seen by humans is approximately 93 billion light-years in diameter at present, but the total size of the universe is not known. [3] Some of the earliest cosmological models of the universe were developed by ancient Greek and Indian philosophers and were geocentric, placing Earth at the center.

  8. Great Filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Filter

    The Great Filter is the idea that, in the development of life from the earliest stages of abiogenesis to reaching the highest levels of development on the Kardashev scale, there is a barrier to development that makes detectable extraterrestrial life exceedingly rare.

  9. Future of an expanding universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Future_of_an_expanding_universe

    As the lifetime of a black hole is proportional to the cube of its mass, more massive black holes take longer to decay. A supermassive black hole with a mass of 10 11 (100 billion) M ☉ will evaporate in around 2 × 10 93 years. [45] The largest black holes in the universe are predicted to continue to grow.
