Your GPS for Business Success Six Numbers for our Universe

ε = Epsilon describes the strength of the force that binds atomic nuclei together and determines how all atoms on Earth are made. Epsilon describes the strength of the force that binds atomic nuclei together and determines how all atoms on Earth are made. If epsilon were or 0.008, we could not exist. If epsilon were or 0.008, we could not exist.

N = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 This number measures the strength of the forces that hold atoms together divided by the force of gravity between them. This number measures the strength of the forces that hold atoms together divided by the force of gravity between them. It means that gravity is vastly weaker than intra-atomic attraction. It means that gravity is vastly weaker than intra-atomic attraction. If the number were smaller than this vast amount, only a short-lived, miniature universe could exist. If the number were smaller than this vast amount, only a short-lived, miniature universe could exist.

Ω = 1 Omega measures the density of material in the universe— including galaxies, diffuse gas, and dark matter. Omega measures the density of material in the universe— including galaxies, diffuse gas, and dark matter. The number reveals the relative importance of gravity in an expanding universe. The number reveals the relative importance of gravity in an expanding universe. If gravity were too strong, the universe would have collapsed long before life could have evolved. If gravity were too strong, the universe would have collapsed long before life could have evolved. Had it been too weak, no galaxies or stars could have formed. Had it been too weak, no galaxies or stars could have formed.

λ = 0.7 Lambda describes the strength of a previously unsuspected force, a kind of cosmic antigravity, that controls the expansion of the universe. Lambda describes the strength of a previously unsuspected force, a kind of cosmic antigravity, that controls the expansion of the universe. Fortunately, it is very small, with no discernable effect on cosmic structures that are smaller than a billion light-years across. Fortunately, it is very small, with no discernable effect on cosmic structures that are smaller than a billion light-years across. If the force were stronger, it would have stopped stars and galaxies— and life— from forming. If the force were stronger, it would have stopped stars and galaxies— and life— from forming.

Q = 1/100,000 which represents the amplitude of complex ripples in the expanding universe that seed the growth of such structures as planets and galaxies. Koppa which represents the amplitude of complex ripples in the expanding universe that seed the growth of such structures as planets and galaxies. If the ratio were smaller, the universe would be a lifeless cloud of cold gas. If the ratio were smaller, the universe would be a lifeless cloud of cold gas. If it were larger, "great gobs of matter would have condensed into huge black holes. If it were larger, "great gobs of matter would have condensed into huge black holes.

D = 3 The first crucial number is the number of spatial dimensions: The first crucial number is the number of spatial dimensions: – We live in a three-dimensional Universe. Life couldn't exist if D were two or four. Life couldn't exist if D were two or four. Time is a fourth dimension, but different from the others in that it has a built-in arrow: we 'move' only towards the future.
