Lee Smolin

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2004, vol. 340, issue 4, 705-713

Abstract: A critical review is given of the theory of cosmological natural selection. The successes of the theory are described, and a number of published criticisms are answered. An observational test is described which could falsify the theory.
