Quintessence : A Thermodynamic Approach to the Phenomena of Nature

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.
