Just Six Numbers: The Major Forces That Shape the Universe
4.99 €
The book by the world-famous astrophysicist, member of the Royal Astronomical Society Sir Martin Rees describes the fundamental forces that govern our Universe. The author argues that the expanding Universe can be defined by just six numbers: N, e, Ω, l, Q, D, each of which plays a special and decisive role in its evolution, and together they determine its development and potential possibilities.

Two of them are associated with the fundamental forces; the other two determine the size and general structure of the Universe and show whether it will exist forever; two more speak about the properties of the Universe itself. If any of them were slightly different, there would be no stars and life could not exist.

We could have appeared - and do exist now - only in a Universe with the right combination of these fundamental numbers. And so understanding this gives a completely new point of view on the Universe and our place in it, as well as on the very nature of physical laws.

Martin Rees managed to describe in accessible language, without using complex mathematical apparatus, the key concepts of cosmology, which is rapidly developing and is today at the forefront of science.
