Description
Is the apparent fine-tuning of the universe evidence of cosmic purpose? In this episode of Waking Cosmos I'm joined by philosopher Philip Goff. We discuss his theory that cosmic fine-tuning is evidence of a purpose-driven conscious universe that is compelled to create life. We also explore his views on panpsychism, cosmopsychism, God, the multiverse and other themes from his new book, "Why? The Purpose of the Universe."
