Just six numbers govern the shape, size, and texture of our universe. If their values were only fractionally different, we would not exist: nor, in many cases, would matter have had a chance to form. If the numbers that govern our universe were elegant--1, say, or pi, or the Golden Mean--we would simply shrug and say that the universe was an elegant mathematical puzzle. But the numbers Martin Rees discusses are far from tidy. Was the universe "tweaked" or is it one of many universes, all run by slightly different, but equally messy, rules?

This is familiar ground, though rarely so comprehensively explored. What makes Rees's book exceptional is his conviction that cosmology is as materialistic and as conceptually simple as any of the earth sciences. Indeed,

cosmology is simpler in one important respect: once the starting point is specified, the outcome is in broad terms predictable. All large patches of the universe that start off the same way end up statistically similar. In contrast, if the Earth's history were re-run, it could end up with a quite different biosphere.

Rees demonstrates how the cosmos is full of "fossils" from which we can deduce how our universe developed as surely as we infer the earth's past from the relics found in sedimentary rocks. Rees's theme is nothing less than the colossal richness of the universe. It is an ambitious book, but if anything, it deserves to be longer. --Simon Ings, Amazon.co.uk

Book Description

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.

very interesting........2006-11-03

One of the most interesting scientific books I've ever read.
I think there is a deep religious implication to the numbers described in the book.
We cannot possibly believe it is all just luck.

Excellent Overview of Cosmology.......2006-10-08

There are many books on cosmology that cover essentially the same material. As can be expected, some of these books are better written than others. In my opinion, this small book is one of the better ones. Combining the very large, e.g., the universe, galaxies, etc., with the very small, e.g., atoms, nuclei and sub-atomic particles, the author discusses six numbers whose values are essential to our existence. He explains that if the value of any of these numbers was different from what it is, we would not be here to contemplate them. He also explains, in very lucid prose, why that is. The author's writing style is very clear - something that is essential when discussing such a complex subject - and quite engaging. This book would be of most interest to science buffs, but it can also be enjoyed by anyone wanting to know more about the strange, non-everyday concepts that fuel the field of cosmology.

Fine Tuning.......2006-06-21

ESSENTIAL reading for anyone interested in the cosmos. Just Six Numbers are the key properties of this universe. The slightest tweaking and this universe as it is would not exist.

Rees calculates the odds of the suite of universes capable of evolving sentitent beings to discuss said universe at one in 10 to the 243 power!!!!!!!!!!

Marvelous book that makes you marvel even more.

An interesting book!.......2005-10-21

You should read this book if you are interested in cosmology. The six numbers mentioned in the book are too amazing.

Expansive Insight.......2004-10-07

"There are three great frontiers in science: the very big, the very small and the very complex. Cosmology involves them all." - Sir Martin Rees.

It takes sound grasp, knowledge and intellect to explain with clarity and simplicity. Sir Martin Rees achieves this here. He provides a useful, absorbing and accessible contribution to lay understanding of cosmology, astrophysics, mathematical astrophysics and so on.

In explaining why a 'Big Bang' (or 'Expansion') might account for our universe, Martin Rees pins his exposition around six key properties: 2 relating to basic forces, 2 to scale and structure, and 2 describing space.

By the end of this book you will understand more about cosmology and how it relates to chemistry, Newton's laws, the general theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, superstring & membrane theory, the search for a Grand Unification Theory, and so on.

Sir Martin also admits what remains to be discovered and how this might refine or deflate the 'Big Bang'. He also explores alternate theories and challenges (but does not here address 'Plasma Cosmology' or the revived interest in 'scalar particles'. However, due to the rate of new ideas entering the field since any such book's publication, this kind of omission is inevitable). Mercifully he does not embrace or expound any facile drivel of the 'Goddidit' variety.

If you wish to broaden or deepen your comprehension of cosmology, you will develop fascinating insights and a more encompassing horizon on the subject here.

Reliving College.......2004-07-27

This book makes me re-live college, especially since I went to school and use to drink with both Chuck and Ace!!

Great Humor.......2003-01-17

These guys must have lived college life to it's fullest. I read the book from cover to cover in one night, only putting it down to wipe the tears shed from laughing so hard! The book totally captures most of what all of us experienced at some point during that 4 year undergrad journey- wish I could have had a beer with Ace and Chuck a time or two; or did I? Hmmm!!!

Well, it's true........2002-11-20

Some people wonder if the stories in this book really happened. Well, they did. I know these clowns, and I can attest to the fact every thing happened. I know it may be unbelievable, but these boneheads are all unbelievable, even when you saw it happen LIVE. You can buy this book or not - it is your call. Neither Ace nor Chuck will enter the poor house if you decide to buy "The Red Tent" instead. But you WILL be missing out on perhaps the funniest book ever.

Funny Stuff.......2002-10-09

I checked into this book because it was recommended to me by a friend of mine. I bought it to read on a long car ride. Even with all the distractions of reading in a car, I finished the book in about 6 hours because I could not put it down! The opening is a riot, and the glossary is probably the best part of the book. I think the funniest chapter is the one called "Cabin Trip" or something like that. I don't want to ruin the story, but it's hard to believe it really happened. This book really will make you laugh, even if it isn't Pullitzer-worthy.

College Life at it's best.......2002-10-08

This book about 5 slugs living in a house is a great memoir. The characters and stories bear an uncanny resemblence to life in my college house, and I'm sure many college houses around the country.

I saw a guy reading a book at an airport and he was laughing out loud. Curious, I asked him what he was reading and he said it was funny stuff. A sucker for recommendations, I wrote down the title and ordered it when I got home from my conference. I couldn't put it down.

The authors hit on all the little things that made college life great: beer, TV, ripping on your friends, doing stupid drunk stuff, and getting by on little to no money. They also touch on what made college life suck: class, studying, and dumb people.

This is required reading for any college male, or any college female who stepped foot in a nasty college house and wondered how the guys could live there. The stories of toenails, turds, and spring break adventures are timeless. Highly recommended for readers and non-readers alike.
