    About this ebook

    Without any mathematical equations, this small book introduces the amazing discoveries of quantum mechanics, how they changed our view of the universe profoundly, and extends the discussion to the theory of life systems and “the theory of everything”.
    The secrets of the universe hidden in the microscopic world are very intriguing, while the philosophy of quantum mechanics is both intriguing and controversial. This book aims to introduce them to the broadest audience regardless of mathematical skills.
    This book also discusses the author's thoughts on life systems and the ultimate physics theory. The author hopes that these discussions may provide new insight for interested parties.
