dc.descriptionAnthropic models can give testable predictions, which can be confirmed or falsified at a specified confidence level. This is illustrated using the successful prediction of the cosmological constant as an example. The history and the nature of the prediction are reviewed. Inclusion of other variable parameters and implications for particle physics are briefly discussed.
