Physics help.... URGENT!!!?

I'm reading a book about stellar evolution and I came across this dedication:

"This book is.dedicated to triple alpha process and the number 7.6549: the reasons we are alive today, and smiling, on Earth."

I know about the triple alpha process, but what in The Universe is the number 7.6549?

(The book is 'THE STARS OF HEAVEN' by Clifford .A. Pickover)
