Abstract

The relevance of some physical ideas by A.D. Sakharov for understanding the Human being nature and the dynamics of the society is considered. In the focus of the author’s reasoning are Sakharov’s meditations on the anthropic principle that help to explain the nature of inalienable human rights; on the reversibility of the arrow of time; on the singularity; on the basically stochastic nature of the Universe. Some special attention is paid to the link between well-known Sakharov’s ideas on convergence, on the one hand, and some ideas of the quantum mechanics, on the other.
