Does “population” in this passage and “population” in presumptuous philosopher have different meanings?
It seems here by “population difference” is kind of like density. How likely we are going to find aliens (on other planets). But in presumptuous philosopher it meant overall number. T2 does have a trillion more observers, yet it does not explain how much of that is due to higher density and how much is due to a larger universe.
I adapted the presumptuous philosopher for densities, because we’d been using densities in the rest of the post. The argument works for total population as well, moving from an average population of D(1+1012)/2 (for some D) to an average population of roughly D1012.
