The fact is, when you zoom out to look at the universe and how it functions, you'll see that it's usually not in our favor, and many of the laws of physics are actively working against our survival.

There was a time when Earth was home. It was chaotic, flawed, and full of pain—but it was real. We knew the ground beneath us, the sky above, and the seasons in between. We understood storms and droughts and the miracle of survival. We feared nature because we respected it. And then we lost it. Virelia was supposed to be our redemption—a new beginning carved from the ruins of our failures. A perfect world, untouched by pollution, war, or time. It offered peace, balance, and the illusion of control. But paradise has a price. Beneath the flawless skies and peaceful meadows lies a question...

NEW COVER! BETTER GRAPHICS! Along with clarifying some traditional concepts, many new and original ideas are explored in this book such as using fractal theory and biology to explain life after death; the relationship between the golden rule and phi, the golden ratio; qualtum organics, a newly coined word differentiating a reality based on quality (values) rather than on quantity (things). These ideas are so outside of most people's conceptual framework, their "box", that it may require many readings to fully understand these revolutionary ideas.

He drastically changed the framework through which we view the natural world when he asserted that we should base our theory of reality on what we can observe rather than pure thought. In the process, he invented what we would come to call science. This set the stage for all the breakthroughs that followed - from Kepler to Newton to Einstein.
