    About this ebook

    "The Answer: A Scientific Fantasy on Themes by Zarathustra, Spinoza, and Planck" is a scientific fantasy explaining the nature of everything and positing answers to all of life's big questions in three thousand words or less.

    I don't claim any of it is correct, but it's the best I got.

    Btw, it has nothing to do with religion.
