Just Six Numbers

21 August 2002

Just Six Numbers. I like this book a lot – fairly straightforward read about cosmology. I particularly like, in the discussion of dark matter, his analogy of the sea – dark matter as the bulk of the undersurface water that we never see, “bright” matter as the small layer of frothy stuff on top we can see. A very humbling view of our position in the universe.

And the Woody Allen quote is great – “Eternity is very long, especially towards the end.”
