Just Six Numbers: The Deep Forces That Shape the Universe — Author’s Introduction

Just Six Numbers: The Deep Forces That Shape the Universe — Author’s Introduction Introduction Astronomy is the oldest digital science, was in ancient times fundamental to the work of calendars and navigation, and now faces a wave of discovery. The increasing focus on time as we enter the new millennium, enhances interest in our cosmic environment. Astronomy remains the science of numbers, and this book is a six-figure story, which is crucial to the universe and our place in it. Commenting on the blurred boundaries of the ancient maps, cartographers wrote: "There are dragons".[1] After the early cosmonauts circumnavigated the globe and delineated the boundaries of the major continents and oceans, later explorers filled in the remaining details. These developments have greatly expanded our cosmic horizons. There has been an attempt to explore the small world within the atom, resulting in new insights into the nature of space at the most precise scales in parallel. Most of us didn’t anticipate the picture that the space-time map painted for us. That picture provided us with a fresh perspective on how a single synthetic event would create billions of galaxies, black holes, stars and planets, and how atoms would combine – whether here on Earth or perhaps in other worlds – to form organisms complex enough to reflect on our origins. A collection of dragons, the phrase "there are dragons" was popularized among cartographers in the 16th century, calling unexplored dangerous areas a sort of warning to people against going to those areas in the belief that there are mythical creatures lurking in these areas.
