Žijeme v nejlepším vesmíru? Fyzici navrhují, jak otestovat antropický princip

Antropický princip nepřestává dráždit. Jak je možné, že žijeme ve vesmíru, v němž můžeme žít? Nemanja Kaloper s Alexanderem Westphalem k jinak čistě filozofickému a poněkud bezcílnému mudrování přihodili test antropického principu v souvislosti s pátráním po temné hmotě. Vše záleží na tom, jestli najdeme nebo nenajdeme ultralehké axiony. Jasno by mohlo být docela brzy. http://www.osel.cz/13815-zijeme-v-nejlepsim-vesmiru-fyzici-navrhuji-jak-otestovat-antropicky-princip.html

Apple’s M4 Mac mini is a tiny miracle. Inside the drastic redesign

I can’t overstate how radical Apple’s Mac mini was when it debuted in January 2005. It was tiny, measuring just 6.5 inches squared and two inches high—the smallest Mac ever.

Such modularity conferred several advantages f
