This theoretic synthesis incorporates ideas such as the Anthropic principle, complexity theory, and the Big Bang theory, and reflects recent discoveries in physics, astronomy, and astrobiology. Our current and future breakthroughs in biotechnology, aerospace, and computers will hasten humankind's achievement of its destiny.... | |
