Testable anthropic predictions for dark energy
In the context of models where the dark energy density rD is a random variable, anthropic selection effects may explain both the ‘‘old’’ cosmological constant problem and the ‘‘time coincidence.’’ We argue that this type of solution to both cosmological constant problems entails a number of definite predictions, which can be checked against upcoming observations. In particular, the anthropic ap...

متن کاملAnthropic Principle Favors the Holographic Dark Energy
We discuss the anthropic principle when applied to the holographic dark energy. We find that if the amplitude of the density fluctution is variable, the holographic dark energy fares better than the cosmological constant.
متن کاملTestable and Untestable Aspects of Dark Energy
It has been suggested that dark energy will lead to a frequency cut-off in an experiment involving a Josephson junction. Here we show that were such a cut-off detected, it would have dramatic consequences including the possible demise of the string landscape.
متن کاملAnthropic Prediction of the Dark Matter Abundance
I use Bousso’s causal diamond measure to make a statistical prediction for the dark matter abundance, assuming an axion with a large decay constant fa ≫ 10 GeV. Using a crude approximation for observer formation, the prediction agrees well with observation: 25% of observers see less dark matter than we do while 75% of observers see more dark matter. Larger values of the dark matter ratio are di...
