= Mediocrity principle
{wiki=Mediocrity_principle}
The Mediocrity Principle, often associated with the field of cosmology and the search for extraterrestrial life, posits that Earth and its inhabitants are not in any way special or unique in the universe. This principle is a part of the broader "Copernican principle," which suggests that humans and our planet occupy no privileged position in the cosmos. The Mediocrity Principle has implications for the study of the universe and the potential for life beyond Earth.
