Every symbol is pragmatic like a tiny seed with proclaims its potentiality of becoming a blooming tree. A careful look at the symbols open up a vista of knowledge and the success achieved in revealing the mysteries of Nature in Universe.

To give body and force to the narration on every topic, this book carries authentic information about experiments conducted by eminent world scientists and clairvoyants in preference to abstract reasoning/arguments.
