Just Six Numbers: The Deep Forces That Shape the Universe Free Audiobook Download by Martin Rees

In the book, Rees shares how deep forces shape our universe. These are things like dark matter, dark energy, and conditions that were set at the beginning of time. All of these things make up part of what Rees calls "the great cosmic guess." He also presents some of these theories in a fun way that is easy to understand.

Martin Rees is a British astrophysicist, cosmologist and author. He achieved the position of Astronomer Royal in 1995 and has been president of the Royal Society since 1995. He is known for his views on both science and society, as well as being an advocate of evidence-based policy making. In his book Just Six Numbers: The Deep Forces That Shape the Universe, he explores the six numbers which most influence our lives: the gravitational constant, Newton's law of gravitation, Planck's constant, Avogadro's number (the number of atoms in a mole), Boltzmann's constant and temperature.

With learned insight and scientific curiosity, Martin Rees explores the deep forces that shape our universe. Rees examines how these forces have determined the nature of our cosmos for billions of years and will continue to do so for trillions more. The author first looks back with awe at the vastness of time and space, how it has shaped the development of life on Earth, what it tells us about ourselves, and how we've come to understand why we live where we live, and what lies ahead on this adventure through time:

The first set of forces is gravity and magnetism. Gravity is the force that attracts all matter, making it fall down to earth. Magnetism is a pull that makes objects line up along each other, which gives rise to electrical currents in materials like metals. The second set of forces is nuclear forces. Nuclear forces are responsible for holding together the nucleus of atoms that make up everything in our world - from molecules to people.
