Just Six Numbers : The Deep Forces that Shape the Universe
Just Six Numbers The Deep Forces that Shape the Universe Author:Martin J. Rees, Martin Rees The genesis of the universe elegantly explained in a simple theory based on just six numbers by one of the world's most renowned astrophysicists How did a single genesis event-the Big Bang-create the billions of galaxies, black holes, stars, and planets that make up our universe? How did atoms manage to assemble themselves into living beings (h... more »ere on earth, and perhaps on other worlds) who are sufficiently intricate and complex to have the consciousness to ponder their origins? In Just Six Numbers, the answers to these questions are connected, just as a deep connection exists between stars and atoms, the cosmos and the microworld. Employing data from new discoveries, Rees offers remarkable insights into the nature of all beings. And it comes down to just six numbers.... Just six numbers that are imprinted in the Big Bang and determine the essential nature and cosmic evolution of our entire physical world. The merest "untuning" of any one of them could result in no universe, no stars, no life of any kind. Rees's stunning discovery offers a radically new perspective on the cosmos, our place in it, and the nature of physical laws.« less
