The so-called anthropic principle points out how finely tuned the

this is the only universe that exists or ever existed? Or is it likely
or possible that there could be an infinite number of other (less
anthropic) universes that co-exist woth this one or have existed
throughout eternity?


Its likely this Universe is one of an infinite number of island Universes.


As for the anthropic principle, life was impossible in the early history of
the Universe, and as the Universe ages, lfe will some day be impossible
again. If the Universe is open and will expand and not contract, life wil
lhave been possible for a very short period of time compared to the time
life was not and will not be possible. I see no attempt of the anthropic
principle fans to say what this means.
