Vivien and Doctor Ovale were slowly walking home. It was a pleasant afternoon, typical of the late summer in that part of the world. There were still a lot of people strolling or sitting in the street cafés, gaily talking and laughing.

Vivien couldn’t quite believe that now she was in a completely different situation from the one only three weeks earlier. Now she could leave her companion without telling him anything, and nobody would be hurt or killed or threatened by anybody because of her leaving. Her companion was a nice person, a cultured gentleman asked not to supervise her but just to keep her company and be at her disposal in case she needed something.

For some time they walked without talking. Then, as if arranged, their smiles met.

“Do you like life?” asked Vivien her companion.

Doctor Ovale looked straight into her eyes. The smile suddenly disappeared from his face. He was somewhat surprised, although, in principle, he was prepared to be asked such a question.

“I am not sure, but I certainly do not hate it,” he answered.

“I see what you mean. But being fond of something is not the same thing as not hating it,” Vivien said.

“I agree with you and for that reason I have a sort of ambivalent feeling, when it comes to life. I can’t say that I love it, but I can’t say that I hate it either. I say that because in my opinion life is neither good nor bad. Only certain aspects of life could be called pleasant or unpleasant. No single aspect of life, however, can characterize life as a whole,” said Doctor Ovale.

“You are a psychologist and I suppose that people with all kinds of mental problems often ask you for advice, don’t they?” asked Vivien.

“Oh yes, they definitely do,” answered Doctor Ovale.

“So what do you think, what is the source of genuine happiness?” asked Vivien.

“That’s a very good question, however it requires a very long and a very elaborate answer,” said Doctor Ovale.

“Wonderful, go on, be sure you’ll have an attentive listener,” she said, smiling, and gave her companion a gentle dig in the ribs. “Because all living creatures are different they need different things to feel comfortable and satisfied. In that respect human beings are no exception. Each human individual has its own very special, absolutely unique life story, which nobody else before could have had and that will never be repeated in the future. In short: we needn’t strive to be unique, because each of us must inevitably be unique. For that simple reason each of us must have his particular personal wishes and desires. That which makes one person satisfied may be perfectly meaningless to somebody else. The closer one comes to the fulfilment of his personal wishes the more satisfied one appears to be.

And yet there seems to be something that makes everybody happy,” said Doctor Ovale.

“And what is that?” asked Vivien.

“Health,” answered Doctor Ovale.

“Does that mean that somebody who is not healthy can’t be happy either?” asked Vivien a little astonished.

“That seems to be the case,” said Doctor Ovale.

“Do you take that seriously? I am asking this because there are definitely a lot of people who are not in good health, and yet they love life. They are happy to be alive, although they have to struggle every day just to stay alive,” said Vivien.

“Oh, I believe you, you are perfectly right, but it is perhaps necessary to explain the meaning of the word ‘health’ in order to avoid misunderstanding,” said Doctor Ovale.

“So what is health?” asked Vivien. There was some doubt in her voice.

“Health is the ability to enjoy the drink that consists of loving and personal troubles. Only a healthy person in that sense is a truly happy person. This definition of health sounds perhaps oversimplified, however the more you think about it the more convincing it appears to be,” said Doctor Ovale

“That explanation seems to me very convincing, because people who can love are strong, they have a cause, and therefore they are ready to bear all difficulties that practical life imposes on them,” Vivien said.

“I also like this explanation, but I am not sure whether it suffices,” said Doctor Ovale.

“Why should it be insufficient?” asked Vivien.

“Well, just imagine somebody whom nobody loves. How can that person love other people? In such a case is love for others conceivable at all?” Doctor Ovale asked.

“I am still too young and inexperienced, but I can remember reading somewhere that true love is unconditional; it includes even the worst enemies. Such unconditional love has a very general character. People who are not capable of that unconditional love do not know true happiness. What they call love is very much like desire to possess and it easily changes to hatred if unrequited,” said Vivien.

“Could you give me an example of what you mean?” asked Doctor Ovale.

“Well, just imagine a man who falls in love with a woman. She, however, does not return his love but chooses another man. If the man whose love is unrequited feels offended and starts hating that same woman, he has never loved her. What he feels for her is simply a desire to possess her. If, however, he continues to love and to appreciate her, despite the fact that his love for her is not requited, then his feelings for her can be called true love.”

“That is a marvellous concept of love, a beautiful blend of feeling and reason. But isn’t it too high a goal, hardly attainable by mortals?” said Doctor Ovale.

“I agree with you, it is an extremely high goal, however it is of paramount importance and just because of that it is worthy of any effort and of any sacrifice. During my years spent in captivity I read a lot, not only books but also daily newspapers, and watched TV every day in order to keep in touch with what was going on in the world. My impression is that education all over the world is on a completely wrong track,” said Vivien.

“Why do you think it is on a wrong track?” asked Doctor Ovale.

“Simply because it teaches and underlines only differences and neglects entirely knowledge about the Same. The consequence is that people can neither feel for each other nor can they understand each other. Thus they don’t live for each other but just beside each other and practically always against each other. In fact, there is always a silent struggle of all against all. That struggle is euphemistically called competition. In all societies in the world and in all fields of activity people are encouraged to compete with each other. All parents in all societies encourage their children to try to come out on top against all others and to prevail over all others. All governments do the same when they address their soldiers, organise military parades and perform manoeuvres. All such actions have the same goal – to intimidate others by demonstrating one’s own power. Small parades and manoeuvres are intended to intimidate small local rivals, while the big ones are intended as warnings to global rivals. All such actions are very similar to the behaviour of apes in their hordes. The only difference between the two is that the apes can only intimidate their rivals by baring their sharp teeth, while those who call themselves humans are in possession of all sorts of much more efficient weapons. That perverted ‘civilized’ game of impressing and imposing is as old as the history of mankind. Apart from very short deceptive breaks, it has been played continuously throughout the centuries. Again and again that game becomes extremely loud and causes a lot of bloodshed and all sorts of tragedies. The historians are wise only in retrospect, after the event. Then they write thick books about the mistakes that had been made before the war and how it could have been prevented. They do not understand that wars are bound to happen, because throughout history the human race has always consisted of societies and has never been able to create a single human community. When people speak of past times they very often idealize the past and even speak of ‘golden ages’. In fact no period in the past was a happy one. So far all human societies have been based on hierarchical structures and the antagonism between the rich and mighty oppressors on the one side and the poor, exploited and oppressed on the other. The frictions and the hatred between these two camps constitute, in fact, the content of that which is proudly called the history of civilization,” said Vivien.

“You are probably right. I have never before thought of the fundamental difference between society and community, and I’m not yet sure to I know the difference between the two,” said Doctor Ovale.

“Oh, the difference is enormous. Every society regards any other society as a rival and a potential enemy. This principle also applies to the situation within each society itself. Thus in any society every individual considers every other individual to be a potential rival, in fact a potential danger of some sort. Therefore there are frontiers between different societies, and all societies have some sort of armed forces trained to kill and ready to fight. The purpose of such forces is to prevent other societies from entering without permission. Within the societies themselves life goes on according to the same principle: everybody sees in everybody a potential danger, and therefore everybody fears everybody. Thus all sorts of keys and secret personal codes, the purpose of which is to ensure that the personal sphere of material interest of each individual remains inaccessible to all others, are a very typical feature of the life in every society. In such a world, those who are in possession of wealth try by every means to preserve the status quo. They always speak of law and order as the most important matter. Those, on the other hand, who feel deprived and exploited try by every means to change their condition. They always speak of equality and justice as the main precondition for law and order,” said Vivien.

“You are right, that’s terrible, but that’s the human nature. Even packs, herds and hordes of animals as well as individual animals within packs, herds and hordes defend their territories and positions and struggle for supremacy in order to enjoy special rights and advantages, don’t they? Everybody who has studied the behaviour of animals just a little bit knows that,” said Doctor Ovale.

“Is that really human nature?” asked Vivien

“I have that impression,” said Doctor Ovale.

“Or isn’t that rather the rest of the animal nature in us that should be identified as such and overcome by that subtle something called reason, which we should have before we dare call ourselves human beings? As long as we think in terms of hierarchy and fight for supremacy like animals in packs and hordes and try to excuse our animal-like behaviour by calling it natural and, therefore, evidently ‘human nature’ we have no right to call ourselves human beings, have we?” said Vivien.

“That sounds fine but without hierarchy there is anarchy,” said Doctor Ovale.

“During my captivity I thought about that quite a lot and I have come to the conclusion that anarchy is the most prominent child of hierarchy. Every hierarchy is pregnant with anarchy. The child called anarchy is born when hierarchy reaches its highest stage,” said Vivien.

“Would you explain your point, please?” asked Doctor Ovale.

“In animal packs, hordes and herds the strongest animals control the weaker members and don’t allow them to enjoy the same rights. As in animal packs, hordes and herds there are no guns and other sophisticated weapons, physical strength is the only thing that matters and a rebellion of the weak is made impossible.

In human hordes called societies, the rich and mighty produce poverty and hopelessness. They impose laws that serve only their own interests and by doing that they incite the poor to break the laws. Thus in all societies each living generation bequeaths struggle and hatred to those who are to come. In human hordes a rebellion is always possible, because even the poor and deprived can procure sufficiently sophisticated weapons to assassinate and destroy the rich and mighty. Even the strictest precautionary measures and the best bodyguards can’t guarantee perfect protection for them. It is very interesting that people in positions of power can’t understand that simple fact, although it has been confirmed again and again during the long course of history,” Vivien said.

“Do you think that there is, in spite of everything, an efficient remedy against that malaise?” asked Doctor Ovale.

“I think there is a remedy, but unfortunately it can’t be used,” said Vivien.

“Why is that?” asked Doctor Ovale.

“Because power-hungry people in positions of power and influence, those who could decide, never think of such a remedy. Therefore they simply don’t know about it. And those who think about it and who know a suitable remedy are very, very few. They neither seek power nor do they want to decide in the name of others,” said Vivien.

“What would be the remedy?” asked Doctor Ovale.

“Well, the only remedy would be the insight that any other person is, in fact, you yourself. When I say you yourself I don’t mean your neighbour or your relative or your friend: I mean you yourself,” said Vivien.

“Help me please to understand what you want to say, because that sounds a bit strange to my ear,” said Doctor Ovale.

“During my captivity I read a book about genetics. From what I have understood it appears that we all are built of the same elements that can be found everywhere in nature and that the proteins in all of us consist of the same twenty or so amino acids. It is only their different sequence, their different arrangement that makes us all appear different in the eyes of all others, who for the same reason appear different to us. That different appearance, that outward show, that different robe, as it were in which we all are shrouded is called body. We all see different bodies and do not recognize ourselves in them because we do not know what there is behind the outward show, behind the robe,” said Vivien, looking at him.

“That’s simply fantastic. You should write a book about that and explain everything in detail. It could be a bestseller, and you could become rich,” said Doctor Ovale enthusiastically.

“Perhaps I could, but that certainly wouldn’t be the remedy; the world-weariness could definitely not be soothed by that,” said Vivien.

“Why shouldn’t a good book providing such a fundamental explanation be able to change the hierarchical way of thinking, which is prevailing at present, and thus create a healthier and friendlier attitude of people to one another?” asked Doctor Ovale.

“Lots of excellent books about genetics and biochemistry have been written already. If those who are power-hungry had read and understood them, things might now be different. I for example wouldn’t have suffered so much in my early childhood and I wouldn’t have been kidnapped. The trouble is that the ignorance of those in positions of power is quite different from the ignorance of people who have never attended school. The ignorance of people in power is of a higher degree. It thrives under the colourful mask of nonsense and superficiality acquired at all sorts of official institutions that train that sort of people. Their skill of fooling the masses by tricks and bluffs creates in them perfect complacency and self-satisfaction and, of course, the feeling of being more important than normal people. People in power with that kind of ignorance are incorrigibly brutal and therefore very dangerous. Their decisions must have disastrous consequences for others, but in the end for themselves, too. They can neither understand what I have told you, nor draw the logical conclusion from it,” said Vivien.

“And what should be the logical conclusion from what you have said and what would be the consequence; I mean what would follow if they could understand it?” asked Doctor Ovale.

“The conclusion should be that we all must try to do whatever we can in order to help ourselves by trying by all means to help others,” Vivien said.

“Governments must govern and order to keep order, but what you have been talking about can’t be ordered,” said Doctor Ovale.

“Not a word was said about orders. Orders produce disorders and disasters. I have spoken of insight and understanding. If there is no insight and no understanding, no orders and no laws can help. Orders and laws are for creatures that live in hierarchically organized hordes called societies,” said Vivien.

“And what would be the practical consequence if people in power could somehow attain that insight you have been speaking about?” asked Doctor Ovale.

“The consequences would be so fundamental and so far-reaching that the entire world would look completely different,” said Vivien.

“That’s exciting. Tell me more about it, please,” asked Doctor Ovale.

“Are you sure you want me to tell you?” asked Vivien. Her voice sounded earnest.

“Why are you asking me that?” asked Doctor Ovale, quite astonished.

“Because what you would like me to tell you must be shocking for practically everybody. I’d like to point that out, because in the entire history of mankind there has never been a radical idea. All ideas proposed by all sorts of ‘radical’ founders and reformers – regardless whether of religious or social nature – always imply the continuation of horde-hierarchy. They were and are good for animals living in hordes, however not for human beings. For that simple reason none of them was radical and all of them have been catastrophic failures. They have all been bound to bring about bloodshed and disaster. In short, they have been worthless.

Do you still want me to tell you more about the practical consequences that would follow the most important insight?” asked Vivien.

“Yes, please,” said Doctor Ovale.

“Well, then listen carefully and don’t blame me for anything,” said Vivien.

“I promise and swear solemnly, go ahead,” said Doctor Ovale, trying to smile.

“The practical consequence would be that all institutions and practices that have arisen from animal instincts and ignorance of our ancestors would immediately lose their present value and significance and be abandoned – they would disappear without delay. That would happen without one single shed tear, because people would realise from one moment to the next that such institutions and practices are products of tragic mistakes that were bound to be made on the painful way called the history of mankind. In short, the present world of numerous societies engaged in a continuous struggle with each other would be replaced by a world community,” said Vivien.

“What institutions are you thinking of?” asked Doctor Ovale.

“For instance states with their political systems, their enormous diplomatic apparatuses, their political parties and their borders; parasitic armies of politicians who lead the masses by the nose by using all sorts of Machiavellian tricks to make them believe that without politicians life wouldn’t be possible; huge parasitic armies of strong, healthy people armed and trained to kill and ready to fight against each other like robots or fighting cocks as soon as ordered to do so; armies of police officers who spend their lives in chasing armies of criminals who simply must thrive in all societies but who would be inconceivable in a community; armies of secret agents who spend their lives trying to play nasty tricks on each other. If they manage to do great harm to special rivals of their masters, they are given awards and promotions; armies of employees in civil service performing day after day a completely unnecessary moronic activity all their lives; armies of so-called students who spend years at all sorts of strange institutions flogging a dead horse, deeply convinced that after their training they deserve to be awarded for their efforts with an easy life that has nothing to do with the dirty manual work; armies of all sorts of clowns and pretenders who produce sheer nonsense and call themselves actors and artists – just think of Hollywoods and Bollywoods; armies of people with strong trained bodies who are paid enormous sums of money for running as fast as they can, jumping as high as they can, hitting each other as violently as they can, lifting as much weight as they can, kicking, throwing or hitting all sorts of balls with racquets, clubs, bats and so on, to swim as fast as they can, to row as fast as they can, entertaining masses by exciting their lowest instincts and thus preventing them from thinking; armies of people who are in the service of the so-called mass-media and who, by carefully planned informing, force the opinion and thinking of the masses to take on a particular form – thus the most efficient informing becomes the main source of the greatest confusion; armies of so-called authors who diligently produce mountains of nonsense and make the ignorant even more ignorant but proud of having read scores of edifying crime stories, biographies of all sorts of stars, science fiction products and bestsellers; armies of all breeds of clerics, who have been very successful in telling absurd stories about gods and eternal life in the hereafter, thus enhancing ignorance and hatred and contributing – perhaps more than anybody else – to the general tragedy of the entire mankind; armies of loan-sharks whose unscrupulousness destroys lives and causes so much suffering to so many; armies of . . .”

“Stop!” said Doctor Ovale pretty loudly. He looked at her; his face was stern. Vivien looked straight into his eyes. There was something soft and mellow and yet very resolute in her face. She felt relaxed and satisfied, because she had finally voiced her opinion that she had been keeping to herself for quite some time.

“Are you aware what you are talking about? That’s absolutely crazy!” he said.

“Yes, I am very well aware of what I am saying and what I am doing. Do you want to know what I am doing?” she said, smiling.

“Tell me, please,” said Doctor Ovale, his face was earnest.

“I have been confessing to you, you are my father confessor, now completely initiated into my innermost secrets – are you satisfied?” she said, smiling in a seductive way.

“If all that you have just mentioned disappeared, millions of buildings and all sorts of corresponding installations would also disappear, there would be one hundred percent unemployment, because all towns as the foremost form of settlement would have to disappear – do you understand what I mean?”

“Of course I do, that’s in fact what I want to say: Towns as a form of human settlement in their initial form as simple huts close together or as lake dwellings were probably the only way to survive in a hostile environment. At that time they were probably the only way to secure the survival of our ancestors. At that time, however, none of the institutions I have mentioned existed yet. Everyone had to hunt and gather in order to survive. We simply can’t imagine how difficult life at that time must have been.”

“Wait a second!” Doctor Ovale interrupted her.

“Yes, please,” she said in a voice full of self-confidence.

“If all the institutions you have mentioned disappeared, we would have the same situation as the one at the very beginning, thousands of years ago, wouldn’t we? We would have to struggle twenty-four hours a day just to survive. Am I right?” said Doctor Ovale.

“That’s a completely wrong conclusion, because at that time people didn’t have the necessary knowledge and skill that could have enabled them to have a simple but comfortable life. Because they did not have the knowledge they were weak. What they did was the only way to protect themselves from the ferocious animals and to survive. For that simple reason the initial form of settlements was suitable and served purpose; it offered the only possible solution. However, in the course of history that form of settlement was bound to produce large towns, which are now the source of all the major problems in the world we are facing today.

Now, however, we have a completely new situation. People are strong, because they have great knowledge and a lot of experience in all fields. Therefore they are a million times more powerful than all the ferocious beasts together. For that simple reason towns have lost their primary sense and purpose. They have become places where people flock together hoping to find some sort of activity that will enable them to enjoy all sorts of superficial time-killing entertainments that can be best summed up in a single word: ‘fun’. To afford the fun offered by the town one thing is imperative – the magic key called money. Money is the universal magic golden key to all doors. In order to get as much money as possible lots of people, even those in highly respected social positions like police chiefs and ambassadors, do not hesitate to act in a criminal way. That is so, because town life has an infective character – people who have lived in the town for some time hate the idea of returning to the country and living like a farmer. They prefer the dangerous life of a criminal in the town to a simple peaceful life on a farm far away from the urban hustle and bustle. That is a universally known fact.

To cope with the ever growing crime in the towns the municipal authorities have no alternative but to employ more police staff, more secret agents, more judges, more lawyers, more people in the offices, more specialists to trace and chase the criminals and so on and so on. All that forces the criminals to develop new strategies and be better organized and more sophisticated than the police. Without the criminals all those who fight them would be redundant. In the situation as it is, however, they are inevitable.

Let us not forget that all the people in the sectors I have mentioned belong to the non-productive part of the population, however all of them must be well fed, well dressed and well paid. Thus towns breed a parasitic way of life and all sorts of crime. Many large towns are already, and the smaller ones will soon be, unmanageable.

My kidnapper told me that he knew several policemen personally. They told him, he said, that the police were not interested in the complete disappearance of crime, because due to crime the police as an institution were indispensable. To put it another way: criminals make the existence of the police possible. That may sound strange, but just think a little: Are professional army people interested in a world in which nobody wants to hear anything about weapons? Are lawyers and judges interested in a world in which there are no criminals, no divorces, no quarrels about land and property? Are all those top engineers who design guns, fighter planes, rockets, submarines and nuclear weapons and so on interested in a world in which nobody needs such things? And how little can those people who buy and sell money and all sorts of absurd commodities and who are as impudent as to speak of such absurdities as their ‘products’, yes, how can such people be interested in a world in which all people work and in which therefore no money is necessary? Imagine how little the religious leaders and dignitaries will be interested in a world in which everybody feels well and safe in the gentle hands of eternity, without any rites or buildings designed to mollify and ingratiate some celestial ruler, just because people have finally understood the meaning of the word ‘eternity’? Just think a little about it,” said Vivien.

“Where would all those people work if all the institutions and services you mentioned disappeared?” asked Doctor Ovale, now considerably less earnest.

“First of all it should be pointed out that people in all those institutions and services in all societies in the world do not work at all. They exercise various activities but they do not work. Another question is, of course, if human beings need such activities or not. They are indispensable in all societies, however in a human community they would be completely unnecessary,” said Vivien.

“Could you explain that, please, because I don’t quite understand what you mean?” asked Doctor Ovale.

“If people train hard, say run for hours every day with the intention to participate in a marathon or if they dig a tunnel under a street with the intention to rob the money from the bank, they are very active, because they exercise a very strenuous activity, but they don’t work.

If, however, someone cultivates the soil and plants seedlings with the intention to produce vegetables or if he takes pieces of wood and makes a table, he works,” said Vivien.

“I am sorry, but I don’t yet understand the difference between work and a simple activity,” said Doctor Ovale.

“Every sort of work is an activity; however, every activity isn’t necessarily work.

People who work perform an activity in which something already present in nature is transformed in such a way that it becomes enriched with some additional value necessary for human life. Additional value means new value necessary for human life, however, initially not present.

People who just exercise an activity like say robbing a bank or running for hours every day with the intention to break a sports record, certainly don’t add any new value necessary for human life,” said Vivien.

“Now I hope to understand why the people in all those institutions you have mentioned, in fact, don’t work at all; they just exercise an activity with the intention to get money, something that has just the so-called nominal, but not real value. That nominal value enables hundreds of millions of people in all societies as they are to lead a wasteful parasitic life.

If all those institutions disappeared, people wouldn’t stop working. They would stop performing their superficial, completely unnecessary activities,” said Doctor Ovale to prove that he had understood the difference between work and activity.

“Now I hope it is clear what I wanted to say. Only if all those non-productive institutions disappeared, if that miracle happened, there would be enough work for everybody and for ever. Money would disappear and the word ‘unemployment’ couldn’t exist,” said Vivien.

“Why is that?” asked Doctor Ovale.

“Because everybody – and when I say everybody I mean everybody – would in that case, in accordance with his physical condition, work in the so-called productive or primary sector, that is both agriculture and craft. Land wouldn’t belong to anybody; however, everybody would cultivate a piece of land adjacent to his house and also somewhere further away from his house. Everybody would learn several crafts that are important for a simple life. Because everybody in the community would work there wouldn’t be employers or employees, and, of course, no money and no payment. Each one’s security would be in his neighbours and not in policies in insurance companies,” said Vivien.

“In that fictitious community of yours there would obviously exist neither writing paper nor notebooks nor books nor schools as we know them. Am I right?” asked Doctor Ovale.

“You are almost right. I say ‘almost’ because everybody would learn letters and numbers, although there wouldn’t be any books to read,” said Vivien.

“Where would people write letters and numbers if paper weren’t produced at all?” asked Doctor Ovale.

“Why shouldn’t the letters with suitable words, numbers and mathematical formulas be engraved on backed ceramic tiles fixed to the walls of the houses as a kind of useful decoration, so that people can always see them and learn them? Instead of in an exercise book letters, numbers and formulas could easily be written on clay or wax plates, which could be used again and again without causing any waste whatsoever. The ancient Romans were capable of using such plates, so why should we not be clever enough to do the same?” said Vivien.

“But why should people learn letters, numbers and mathematical formulas if neither novels nor textbooks would be printed?” asked Doctor Ovale.

“The pragmatic aspect of your question can easily be detected. But isn’t it so that the most delicate and the most interesting problems and brain-twisters suitable as a mental exercise are rarely of any practical value – playing chess, for example, or solving mathematical problems? Lots of people would like solving mathematical problems for pure pleasure, and to that letters and numbers are necessary,” said Vivien.

“How could knowledge, in that case, be handed down from one generation to another?” asked Doctor Ovale.

“All adults would be teachers of all children, and all children would be pupils of all adults all through their lives. Every day would be a sort of a school-day for each and everyone, and that would be so during their entire life,” said Vivien.

“I don’t mean the knowledge necessary for simple everyday life but the higher, sophisticated knowledge acquired at universities and in research centres,” Doctor Ovale wanted to know.

“I see what you mean. Physics is considered to be the most fundamental science, and astrophysics and nuclear physics are regarded as its most delicate branches. For that reason people hope to get clear answers to the last questions concerning the world and life from physics in general and from her most delicate branches in particular. However, in no other scientific field is knowledge so blurred, vague and contradictory as it is in those two branches. For example, most astrophysicists speak of an explosion – they call it Big Bang – in which an extremely condensed next-to-nothing exploded and created the world we know, of black holes, of antimatter, of particles without weight faster than light and so on and so on as absolutely proved realities. Some others don’t even believe in the existence of black holes, antimatter and weightless particles that move faster than light through everything without any resistance whatsoever. The striving of leading physicists to find the world formula shows how ridiculous their knowledge is and how poor their fantasy. Their sophisticated knowledge is as vague and void of any sense as religious drivel.
