Despite the boundless advances of modern science, much of the
Universe still remains a mystery. Mysteries have a way of gnawing
at the human mind. Mysteries demand to be solved. In seeking to
unravel the mysteries of the Universe, scientists and philosophers
have proposed bold speculations to explain those mysterious
phenomena that lie at the edges of knowledge. The mysterious
phenomena to which the author refers are those that have remained
elusive to established fact and certainty. Such phenomena include
the nature, structure, origin, and terminus of the well-ordered
Universe. This book explores these phenomena through careful
scrutiny which separates cogent conjectures from wild flights of
fancy in order that these phenomena should be explained with the
utmost accuracy.
Many of those speculations and conjectures proposed by
contemporary science and philosophy to explain the Universe will
prove useful. These are retained. But there will also be many
conjectures in need of revision and many speculations that must be
replaced. These speculations and conjectures that do not prove
fruitful to the inquiry are revised.
