physicist United States

Brandon Carter is a renowned physicist known for his contributions to cosmology and the philosophy of science. He is particularly famous for formulating the 'Difficulties of the Steps' theory in 1983, which posits that the emergence of life on Earth was a highly improbable event. His work has sparked debates about the likelihood of life existing elsewhere in the universe. Recent studies have challenged his theories, suggesting that life could naturally arise under favorable conditions, leading researchers to explore the potential for life on numerous exoplanets.
