Physicists should watch pt. 2 FOR SURE. Also, I haven't finished converting the audio file of the actual conference. That'll be up in a few days.

Whats up :) I met Lee Smolin at a physics conference in Canada. Ironically enough I just uploaded some videos that began with a quote from the trouble with physics :)

You had to read the Hegelian Dialectic sentence by sentence? Waterboarding is more humane. I still have to read the book. Thank you for the recommendation

The mechanism is that those black holes that juggled the parameters so as to make a new universe without plenty of black holes would be a line that would just die out somewhere in hyperspace.

Black holes would be the conduit through which we could trace our cosmic heritage. In this way, we provide a possible, albeit speculative, antinomy to the anthropic argument.

I believe he said that since the parameters have to be close enough to the ones that would be required to make possible the development of stars in any particular universe, it stands to reason that since black holes are the products of collapsed and dying stars, we should expect that the universe we inhabit must be the descendant of a long line of universes that have hovered around the specifics of those parameters.
