<p>1 revision: Discworld import 2</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The character of this Professor is never introduced properly, but his function is humanocentric in the extreme: the [[wikipedia:Anthropic_principle|anthropic principle]] states that humans should take into account the constraints that human existence as observers imposes on the sort of universe that could be observed. Originally proposed as a rule of reasoning, the term has since been extended to cover supposed &quot;superlaws&quot; that in various ways require the universe to support intelligent life.<br /> <br /> The Professor at [[UU]] presumably applies these theories to prove that the universe exists &#039;&#039;in order&#039;&#039; for there to &#039;&#039;be&#039;&#039; a Professor of Applied Anthropics who can prove that the universe exists in order for there to be a Professor of Applied Anthropics...<br /> <br /> Mentioned in {{H}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Discworld characters]]<br /> [[Category:Wizards]]<br /> [[de:Professor f&amp;uuml;r Anthropie]]</div>
