reality, and the contents of Table 10.11 represent what has been caught so

far with the cosmological net. It is hoped that most, if not all, of the major

“fishes” swimming in the sea of reality has been captured in Table 10.11.

If there is any defect in the net, it is hoped that they will be repaired (or

replaced with a better one to improve the catch), in the hands of philoso-

phers and scientists of the future.

10.18.4 The Self-Knowing Universe and the Anthropic

Cosmological Principle

The postulate that we are living in a Universe (called Universum sapiens

[7, p. 236]) whose goal (or the final cause of Aristotle) it is to Know Itself

arose from the conceptual model of the Universe, the Shillongator, that

was constructed on the basis of the principle of self-organization (hence

the suffix “-ator”) [7, pp. 236–7]. This postulate entails the existence of

cosmolanguage and its manifestations as material and mental languages as

discussed in Section 4.1, which provides a rationale for the isomorphism

between cell and human languages [19–23]. Now this basic postulate may

explain other “mysterious” coincidences discovered by physicists in the

early decades of the 20th century [412, 552], including the following:

1. The ratio of the electric and gravitational forces between a proton and
   electron is about 10^40.


2. The number of nucleons in the Universe is ~10^80.


3. The ratio of the action of the Universe to the quantum of action is
   ~10^120.

These large dimensionless ratios with the unusually large exponents

involving multiples of 40 is accounted for by Dicke and other cosmolo-

gists as the necessary condition for producing carbon-based life forms

on this planet [412, 413, 439]. It seems generally accepted among cos-

mologists that the numerical values of the physical constants, such as c

(the speed of light), G (the gravitational constant), h (the Planck constant),

e (the electric charge of electrons), mp (the proton mass), and me (the elec-

tron mass), must be within a narrow range in order for this Universe to be

able to support carbon-based life forms. Deviations of even a few percent

in these constants have been shown to produce model universes that are
