Foreword

Each book has an author, and his name is on the cover page of the book. The author is also inside the book—inspired, faithful, and conquered by its beauty and fascination. He has the talent to transfer this beauty to the reader to capture his attention and to share with him his own delight. The author is writing delightfully about mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology; he claims that exactly these sciences are indeed social ones, i.e., they serve mankind and each person, rather than to pretend to do that. I certainly recommend reading this book. It is a marvelous story about science, mathematics, reigned science, and chemistry, which is not the whole life, but the life is totally chemistry about the charming biology, the mind, consciousness, and quantum strings. It is about everything remarkable in science. Join
