My goal was to formulate as clearly as possible my prognosis that a synthesis of physics and biology would be achieved through the creation of special cosmological models. Thirty years have passed since I wrote the quoted paragraph. I think it is time now to look at how well the development of scientific thought has matched my prediction. In other words, the world is originally ordered in such a way that it can eventually become our dwelling-place. Therefore, to a certain degree, my prognosis has been fulfilled.
Modern cosmologists leave a niche in their models for an intelligent observer.
I hypothesized that a cosmic civilization can be represented as a system of individuals capable of reflecting in their inner domains the system as a whole, including themselves and other individuals together with their inner domains. Therefore, the only model deserving to be placed in the cosmological niche is one which demonstrates its explanatory and predictive power in relation to human beings. It would have to be founded on very general principles rather than on sets of empirical and experimental facts. This limitation is important to avoid basing the model on data related only to our earthly version of man. I hope that my tendency to base my considerations on extremely general assumptions has now become more clear.
