On cosmic natural selection
Authors: Alexander Vilenkin
Comments: 4 pages, no figures. Discussion of black hole nucleation expanded, references added
The rate of black hole formation can be increased by increasing the value of the cosmological constant. This falsifies Smolin's conjecture that the values of all constants of nature are adjusted to maximize black hole production.
