In The Accidental Universe renowned expositor Paul Davies grapples
with the most fundamental questions of all. What is our purpose and
the purpose of the universe? Are both an accident of nature? Paul
Davies guides us through the mysterious coincidences underlying the
structure and properties of the universe we inhabit. He sets out
the intriguing hypothesis that the appearance of the universe and
its properties are highly contrived. Paul Davies gives a survey of
the range of apparently miraculous accidents of nature that have
enabled the universe to evolve its familiar structure of atoms,
stars, galaxies and life itself. This remarkable book concludes
with an investigation of the anthropic principle, which postulates
that much of what we observe around us is a consequence of the
presence of observers in the universe. This thesis of a cosmic
biological selection effect is fiercely debated among scientists
and is here set out clearly for a general readership.
