3 unusual facts about Brandon Carter


Doomsday argument

Additionally, it should be considered that because Carter did present and describe his argument, in which case the people to whom he explained it did contemplate the DA, as it was inevitable, the conclusion could then be drawn that in the moment of explanation Carter created the basis for his own prediction.

If that is the appropriate reference class, Carter defied his own prediction when he first described the argument (to the Royal Society).

Penrose diagram

Penrose diagrams are more properly (but less frequently) called Penrose-Carter diagrams (or Carter-Penrose diagrams), acknowledging both Brandon Carter and Roger Penrose, who were the first researchers to employ them.
