Blurb #2: “Just Six Numbers”

Our universe is a complex being in itself, replete with distinct peculiarities and phenomena still outside the bounds of mankind’s intellectual grasp. Dr. Martin Rees attempts to broaden the laymen’s knowledge of this physical construct into comprehensible form, by addressing six numerical constants that without which life in our universe could not possibly exist. Dr. Rees is an esteemed cosmologists and astrophysicist, often cited as one of the preeminent leaders of these respective fields. He has also contributed extensively to the study of abnormal cosmological phenomena. In his book “Just Six Numbers,” Dr. Rees does more than just ramble on about some seemingly arbitrary and exaggeratedly intriguing numbers (most have decimal points and exponents). He uses these as the focal point to explore the intricacies and nuances of what makes our physical existence tick. In doing this, he presents a full and comprehensive vantage point of an interesting universe, which can be understand in full by self-professed ignorants of science, myself included.
