Philosophy and Cosmology

• Anthropic Principle (人間原理） (“I think, therefore I am” by Descartes )

• What exists outside the Universe?

Initial condition of the Universe and very small cosmological constant (fine tuning in Phyiscs or divine act in Theology)

Quantum fluctuation exists beyond the horizon!

Anthropic Principle (人間原理）

• Strong Anthropic principleBecause the current universe is like this, the mankind, who questions, necessarily exists.(宇宙がこうなっているからこそ、この問いを発する人間が必然として生まれたという原理)

• Weak Anthropic principleBecause the current universe is like this, the mankind , who questions, can possibly exist.(宇宙がこうなっているからこそ、この問いを発する人間が生まれる可能性があったという原理 )

I think, therefore I am (cogito ergo sum) René Descartes

To the question, “Why is the physical law, which is appropriate for the mankind, like this?”

NASA WMAP Science Team

Big-bang Nucleosynthesis• Light element production in the early Universe (The

first three minutes of the Universe)

• One of the three evidences to support the Big-bang cosmology ( others are the Cosmic expansion and the Cosmic-Microwave Background)

• Earliest phenomenon which we can detect

• Unification of nuclear physics, astronomy and particle physics

Dark Matter

Unknown SUSY particles?

Supergravity • Local theory of Supersymmetry and a good candidate for

quantum gravity

• Predicting a massive super partner of graviton, gravititno

• Predicting a long-lived particle, e.g., decaying NLSP gravitino into LSP neutralino, or decaying NLSP neutralino or stau into gravitino LSP

• Typically the lifetime can be longer than one second! This is dangerous for cosmology.

Summary• By using BBN, we can get upper bounds on the reheating

temperature after inflation in gravitino NLSP and neutralino LSP scenario

• (The gravitino LSP with thermally produced NLSP scenarios are also severely constrained)

• This has a strong impact on cosmological models in supergravity

• Developments in science should affect our HEALTHY philosophical idea! For example, it should be important to know that the temperature of the Universe started from 1011

Kelvin and t = 10-14 second
