Deriving the Properties of the Universe

The properties of the Universe can be derived by thinking about the origin of complexity, says a new theory by University of California, Berkeley and Stanford University physicists.
But, just like the anthropic principle, it also has the scent of circular reasoning about it: the universe is the way it is because if it were different, the complexity necessary to observe it wouldn’t be here to see it.
