can any single number hold the distinction of being
the "Most Important Number In The Universe"?
physicist and author
Simon Singh argues that a
good case can be made for a number called
Big Gthe
gravitational constant in his
BBC Radio 4 documentary,
6.67 x 10^-11 – the number that defines the universe,
Dr. Singh points out that if
Big G were just a little bit
larger or smaller, "life, the universe and everything
simply wouldn't exist"
for more on Big G and Dr. Singh's contention, check out
the video below; it features excerpts from the
BBC Radio 4documentary, which can be heard in full
