John Wheeler, based on studies of quantum mechanics, concluded that the "observer is a participator in genesis," meaning consciousness is a fundamental agent for the universe's manifestation.
Wheeler posits that conscious beings act as "vehicles for manifestation of a potentiality that was there from the start."
The text addresses a skeptic's argument about the absurdly large size of the universe just to produce life on one planet.
The counter-argument is that the universe's size is a byproduct of expansion.
The critical factor is the duration of time required for the necessary heavy elements to be created (in stars and supernovae) for life to emerge.
