"Decoding The Universe" is an overhaul and refinement of "Project Genesis," which was written in a passionate frenzy, with new stuff added. It connects things on a cosmic scale to the chemical elements, which forged history. That takes us one step closer, perhaps, to understanding why and how we got here. It is a work in progress, and the author is trying to get to the crux of things, from which he feels he is one step away.
