Premises to Understanding the Unification Theory of Everything.
- That God is the Parent of all humankind, ,that the spiritual dimension of human life is vital, and that spiritual dynamics are impacting and shaping human events.
- That the family is a sacred institution, and fidelity and purity in relationships are essential virtues in building Godly families.
- That the ideal standard for human relationships is expressed in living for the sake of others.
- That inter-religious, interracial and international cooperation and harmony are vital to building a world of peace, and that we are called to overcome barriers that divide us.

| The modern scientific age began in the sixteenth century, when Nicholas Copernicus suggested that the motion of the stars and planets in the sky could be described on the assumption that it is the sun, rather than the earth, which is the center of the solar system. The opposition, not to say persection, that this idea encountered from the establishment of that time is well known, but this was unable to prevent the beginning of a revolution in thinking whose influence has continued to the present day. From that time on, the final test of scientific truth was to be observation and experiment rather than religious or philosophical dogma. |

The ideas of Copernicus were developed by Kepler and Galileo and notably, in the late seventeenth century, by Isaac Newton. Newton showed that the earlier observations resulted directly from two sets of laws: first the laws of motion which stated that the acceleration of a moving body is equal to the force acting on it divided by the body's mass, and secondly a law of gravitation which asserted that each member of a pair of physical bodies attracts the other by a gravitational force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their separation. For the first 'laws of nature; were expressed in quantitative form and mathematics was used to deduce the details of motion of physical systems from these laws. In this way, Newton was able not only to show that the motions of the moon and planets were consequences of his laws, but also to explain the pattern of tides and the behavior of comets.
This objective mathematical approach to natural phenomena was continued in a number of scientific fields and culminated in the work of James Clerk Maxwell in the nineteenth century who showed that all that was then known about electricity and magnetism could be deduced from four equations (soon to be known as Maxwell's equations) and that these equations also had solutions in which waves of coupled electric and magnetic force could propagate through space at the speed of light. It was then a small step to realize that light itself is just an electromagnet wave which differs from other such waves (e.g. radio waves, infra-red heat waves etc.) only in that its wavelength is shorter and its frequency higher that those of these. By the end of the nineteenth century it seemed that the basic fundamental principles governing the behavior of the physical universe were known: every thing appeared to be subject to Newton mechanics and Maxwell's electromagnetism.

The philosophical implications were also becoming understood and it was realized that if everything in the universe was determined by strict physical laws then the future behaviour of any physical system - even in principle the whole universe - could be determined from a knowledge of these laws and of the present state of the system. Of course exact calculations of the future behaviour of complex physical systems were, and still are, quite impossible in practice (consider, for example, the unreliability of forecasting the British weather more that a few days ahead!), but the principle of determinism in which the future behaviour of the universe is strictly governed by physical laws certainly seems to be a direct consequence of the way of thinking started by Newton. In the words of the nineteenth century French Scientist and philosopher Pierre Simon de Laplace 'we may regard the present state of the universe as the effect of its past and the cause of its future.
By the end of the nineteenth century, although many natural phenomena were not understood in detail, few if any scientists thought that there were further fundamental laws of nature to be discovered or that the physical universe was not governed by deterministic laws. But within thirty years a major revolution had occurred that completely destroyed the basis of both these opinions. These new ideas which are now known as the quantum theory arose out of the study of atomic physics and it is the fundamental changes this theory requires in our conceptual and philosophical thinking that triggered Albert Einstein's comment and which will be the subject of this book.

The Way of the Heavenly Father
Millions of Ambassadors for Peace throughout the world, in 185 nations, have taken up the teachings, - "the Way of the Heavenly Father." The Ambasadors for Peace are working day and night in response to a special decree from God; teachings which consist of principles of true love and the ideal of a true family, and, without fail, the fulfillment of the heavenly will of creating "one family under God." These are the teachings of Dr. Sun Myung Moon.
