DESCRIPTION:According to Brandon Carter’s 1960 “Anthropic Principle’
 ’ : If the laws of physics were slightly different\, life could not have
  formed. Our existence hinges on a delicate fine tuning of the constants o
 f Nature. The masses of the subatomic particles\, the strengths of the for
 ces between them\, the expansion rate of the universe are “just right’
 ’ for life. This has been dubbed the ‘’Goldilocks Enigma’’. The 
 traditional goal of theoretical physics is to seek a set of laws that not 
 only describe the universe but do so uniquely. But I will describe how rec
 ent advances in Cosmology\, String Theory and M-theory have led physicists
  to abandon this Universe in favor of the Multiverse.
