This book describes a fundamentally novel approach to understanding the phenomena of nature from the standpoint of classical and relativistic quantum physics, as well as cosmology. Regularities of the living and inanimate worlds, as well as the interaction between the two within each of them are described. It is shown that for every phenomenon (even seemingly supernatural), one can find a scientific interpretation. In the words of Albert Einstein: "The scientific search is a constant race away from magic". Also discussed in this book are how the conditions for the emergence and development of organic life on the Earth were created. Why was the chosen set of approximately 100 global constants that govern our lives presented to us by nature? Are there planets in the Universe where there is also intelligent life? And if so, how can contact be established? These are some questions that are examined in this book.

Lev Z Vilenchik has a Ph.D. (1975) and Doctor of Science (1985) Degrees in Physics and Mathematics, with major in theoretical physics specializ-ing in quantum field theory (student of Academician V.A. Fock). He has a substantial experience both in academia and industry. He was a Professor and Senior Principal Scientist focusing in the quantum field theory, nuclear physics, physics of macromole-cules, and chromatography and drug development at the Russian Academy of Science, Purdue University, MIT, and Merck among others. The description and explanation of the processes exemplified in the manuscript required thorough understand-ing and comprehension of classical physics, electrodynamics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, rela-tivistic theory, cosmology, chemistry, biochemistry, macromolecular science, chromatography, and pharmacology. The author has extensive knowledge and expertise in all of the above areas, published a number of patents and over 100 papers in peer reviewed scientific international journals. The manuscripts Chromatography of Polymersand Modern Liquid Chromatography of Macromolecules were published by Chimiya in 1978 and Elsevier in 1983 correspondingly.
