暴胀宇宙学的哲学意蕴
Philosophical Implications of Inflationary Cosmology
摘要：
宇宙学的最新发展表明，每一个具有非零概率的历史都是在无限多个不同的时空区域中实现的。因此，宇宙似乎包含了无限多的文明，完全像我们自己的文明，以及无限多的文明，不同于我们自己的任何方式允许的物理定律。我们探讨了这一结论对伦理理论和世界末日论点的影响。在无限的宇宙中，我们发现末日论只适用于那些改变所有文明平均寿命的效应，而不仅仅是那些影响我们文明的效应。
英文摘要：
Recent developments in cosmology indicate that every history having a nonzero probability is realized in infinitely many distinct regions of spacetime. Thus, it appears that the universe contains infinitely many civilizations exactly like our own, as well as infinitely many civilizations that differ from our own in any way permitted by physical laws. We explore the implications of this conclusion for ethical theory and for the doomsday argument. In the infinite universe, we find that the doomsday argument applies only to effects which change the average lifetime of all civilizations, and not those which affect our civilization alone.
