This is the introduction

“Today we call a theory natural if it does not contain numbers that are either very large or very small. Any theory that contains unnatural numbers is believed to not be fundamental—it is a crack in the floor that deserves digging. The idea that a law of nature should be natural in this fashion has a long history. It started as an aesthetic criterion, but now it has become mathematically formalized as “technical naturalness.” And by promoting an aesthetic criterion to a mathematical prescription, the nonscientific origin of naturalness has largely been forgotten. The first appeal to naturalness might have been the rejection of the heliocentric (Sun-in-center) model on the ground that the stars appear fixed. If Earth goes around the Sun, then the stars’ apparent positions should change over the course of the year. The magnitude of this change, known as “parallax,” depends on the distance to the stars; the farther away the star, the smaller the apparent change in position. You can see a similar effect when you are on a train watching the landscape go by: nearby trees move much faster through your field of view than the skyline of a distant city”
