Isaac Newton (1643-1727) is widely recognised as one of the greatest mathematicians and physicists of all time. Shortly before death, he is reported as saying, I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me. This collection of 4 essays represents the author's efforts to place a toe in the waters of the great ocean of truth - toe being a play on TOE, the abbreviation of science's anticipated Theory Of Everything. The anthology includes hard science fiction (sci-fi that emphasizes scientific accuracy and technical detail). This is because its aim is to make effective use of science fiction in research that is intended to resonate with the public. The goal of this book is to show that there will be almost unbelievable changes to society in future decades and centuries. This world could become a Utopia with no hunger, no poverty, no disease, and world peace. As stepping stones to this Heaven on Earth, great alterations in the way people think are proposed in the form of likely developments in the sciences (physics, mathematics, astronomy, etc.)
