of being the "Most Important Number In
The Universe"?

Physicist and author Simon Singh argues
that a good case can be made for the number
called Big G the 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."
