Abstract
A deeper analysis shows that the motivation behind the research, outlined in Chap. 1 is related to conducting a search for the guidelines, which will ensure a better understanding of the answers to the following questions.
I think the next [21st] century will be the century of complexity.
We have already discovered the basic laws that govern matter and understand all the normal situations.
We don’t know how the laws fit together,
and what happens under extreme conditions.
But I expect we will find a complete unified theory sometime this century.
There is no limit to the complexity that we can build using those basic laws.
Stephen Hawking (Stephen Hawking quoted in an interview on January 23, 2000 in the San Jose Mercury News; cf. http://www.mercurycenter.com/resources/search, https://arxiv.org/pdf/1303.3855).
[Answer to question: Some say that while the twentieth century was the century of physics, we are now entering the century of biology. What do you think of this?]
