About this title.

The science of the construction and eventual destruction of life, the Universe and…… what is engineering them…. The motivation for writing this book is straightforward and somber: -To understand why human beings exist. -To better understand why the Universe exists. -To equip the reader for the inevitable end of his or her life by a better understanding of what is in store for their atoms, at least, after their death. The results are not at all what you might think. Paradoxically a better scientific understanding of these issues is a ticket for a calmer and more contented life. This book specifically addresses the question: why did the Universe produce so much “order” in the form of subatomic particles, atoms, molecules, stars, galaxies, planets and last but not least - living organisms?
